P.S. Please add Mutual Funds , it gives us the quotes from mutual funds , but doesn't let us buy them!

I would suspect that most sites will feel the same as you do. At my site most of my users are stock traders for real stocks and many of the posts are already about stocks. So it is important to me that it works right with no way to win in a contest other than picking the best stocks.

I can see how other sites may want to use this along with reps or posts to build up a portfolio and maybe reward users. We all have different sites and different users - I just hope this add on can have the options to fit most of our needs so we can present it the way we want to our users.

Zethon consider this for the contest part of it..

Add a table that can import the money from vbux, icash etc. In the contest set up area place the amount that can be imported into that table for the contest from vbux etc.. This will be your portfolio starting point and you can't add more than what is set in the contest set up. Have a start date for contest and end date and the one with the most bux at the end date is the winner.

You could also set it to so there is no limit for the sites that want their users to be able to use all of their bux they earn in the contest.

This a great add on and all of us have different visions of how we want to present it to our users. My hope is that their will be enough options that we all can set this up to work for our sites in a way that will be best for each site...

Thanks zethon for all your efforts!:up:
