One of my colleagues here pointed out that our search engine on the site wasn't bringing back the right results if you typed in web 2.0. I thought it was just displaying good taste - the phrase web 2.0 still makes me shudder. Anyway - it is fixed and overhauled. Try it out - the search box is on most of our pages on the top right.

If you want to change or upload a picture for your profile (ie: the one that appears against all your blog posts) then you do that from the right hand panel options on your home page when you log in. This is different from the MY PICTURES page - which is more a sort of gallery of images for your blog posts or for the site's picture albums. I'll add...

Another small change for the better - our market data pages are colour coded green and red where appropriate to indicate positive or negative values. Seems to be a lot of red at the moment.... Also I've fixed a reported issue with the member messaging whereby some messages were arriving as blank - which let's face it is less than helpful.

If you're using Microsoft Word to compose your blog post - I recommend you just use it to write the text - don't bother with any formatting. Paste it into our system using the paste from Word or paste as plain text buttons - these are the little clipboard icons with a small W or T on them in our blog editor pane - (see below).
