Please use as much as simple letters or lower case letters when posting articles. You can use Capital or Uppercase letters for Stock Codes and mixed with lower case whenever it is necessary. Avoid ALL UPPER CASE LETTER in your topics or contents. Also please avoid using unnecessary punctuations like question marks ???????, !!!!!!!! and full stops .......... in your topic or too many smilies Very Happy

in your content. Make the header/title of your article looks attractive' by avoiding SMS language or spelling and grammatical errors. This is not an order but a request!!! Thank you.

Only Moderators are allowed to use colorized contents. Members can freely use Bold, Italics and underlining.

Don't know why admin is imposing controls on how many full stops,question marks and smilies to be used.

Are we allowed to used capital letters when quoting abrivations and stock codes such as JKH and SEC.

Hope we are still allowed to use bold, underline and italic.

@ tinyman - it's not really controls. it's kinda forum ethics not to type in caps (means shouting) of course abbreviations are excluded.

These are necessary to make this forum look professional and desirable

These are necessary to make this forum look professional and also make the site search engine friendly. (I think ) . Presently this site has a good ranking in google.

Agreed. Need to make it professional. Could we also do something about the blank blue area next to the picture at the top. May be it is reserved for an advert, but until then, could we have something in place. Thank you.

Once you are Bold enough you will start underlining every other important statement you make. Welcome to the fanfare.

This is not a rule, only a request. This will make forum look very professional especially when articles appear in googles searches. Misspelled grammatically wrong articles with many ....... And ?????????? Looks very ugly. Also this might result in google dropping our content from their top list of searches.

ShareShares, you have been one of our valued contributors and we would appreciate your understanding and continuos contribution.

Thank you
