Mornin' again,

Secondly - I was not frequenting CT for a while - and when I came back, the entire site is somewhat different. New hosting software I suppose.

Anyway, whenever there is a photo in a post or thread, my page is like 30 yards wide and the scrolling is crazy to get to the right side. I have gone back and read a few pertinent threads concerning this. Obviously, nothing has been done to fix it.

Anything that I can do on my end ? - I use IE 7 and have never had this problem on ANY forum till now. I have tried changing a setting ( in Explorer ) to not display pics and changed to "printable view" here on the forum - then no pics at all !! And no - I am not changing browsers...

Darn - the forum is real hard to work with now. I wonder if viewership and visitor numbers have been compromised, hurt or fallen off.

Thanks again for the help,

Mike

Good Morning Doug,

Long time...

Just a couple of things: been researching VAM varieties and went to the "resources" page here at CT and the "VAMSLAB" addy is new. Here is the new address - seems he changed hosts:

Thanks in advance for the help,

Hello Doug,
Came by to see what kind of coins you like, and was blown away by your albums. Question what is that flawless coin with Liberty & the year 2000 obverse & Peace at the bottom of the reverse, all of those coins are out of this world, but that one really caught my eye, what is it? When you get time...
Thanks,
steve

Hello Doug,
Dropped by to scope out your your idea of a coin you like, and was blown away by your albums, question, what is that flawless coin Liberty 2000 obverse, and Peace at the bottom of the reverse? Its stunning.

What does it take to remove the "Junior" status from your name in exchange for the much more glamorous "member" ? LOL - guess at my age being called junior still rings a bit sour ....

Thanks - Lew (55+)

Just snoopin' around the site and thought I'd say hi!

Doug,
I know I kind of made a splashy entrance to the forum. I really thought I knew my shxt about my coins, but I was collecting by my own devices for over 20 years. I only had me to go by. I guess what Im getting at is Im not so bad once you get to know me. I tend to stir things up by nature, Its a flaw I have. I dont know or need to know CT's corporate status but please tell Peter and the administrators of the site, including yourself, that if you ever run into IRS difficulties that you have direct access to advice from my wife. Everyone hates paying taxes including her. But she is pretty high up in the organization and often helps people when the dreaded knock comes to the door. Just know CT has a friend at IRS. It can be a good thing sometimes. Thanks for all of your advice so far.

Steve

I have, no one is familiar with it yet...

Me: check out my ad in classifieds

Them: Where?

Me: Classifieds!!!

Them: I dont know what your talking about, bye!

Why cant we post in the open section...

It looks like I am being restricted from the home page. I have not made many post lately, I wonder if that has something to do with it. Has something changed?

Hi, Doug,

Didn't want to clutter the "Investment" thread with this, because it's off topic.

The equivalent to the house advantage for coins is transaction costs -- it's what it costs to be in the game even if your performance is the statistical average. That's one key reason your point is correct about coins being a lousy way to make money. Worse than craps, even. On average it costs you 1.5% of your stake to play craps once. Buying and selling a coin once costs way more than that.

If you care about the math, 50-50 odds mean a house advantage of 0%.
