Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I've learned a little bit more about the scoreard reset feature and I'm leaning towards not using it at this time. Meanwhile I've paid a bit more attention to the percentile figure on my profile page and seen that there is a smaller number that gives the 3 monthly and 6 monthly performance figure. I imagine that this will extend to including the yearly return once that milestone is reached for each member.
I've seen that Mitchell & Webb skit, and love it too.
The ability to reset a scorecard was first intended to encourage beta testers to be bold and experiment. We wanted to catch as many bugs as possible and so felt a reset feature might help on that front. That being said, I've also come to see it as useful for those who want a fresh start. But to ensure it isn't abused, we limit each member to 3 resets, and will note any past resets on a members profile. That way, others will also know and there's no hiding from past misadventures. Like most things, this is open to change, and it's great to get some perspective from members.
As for the site refresh, I apologise again for the delay. The nature of development is one of two steps forward and one step backward, and I also have very limited resources (one part time developer, and a few occasional contractors). It's been incredibly frustrating, but we are slowly getting there.
If you know of any developers that might be interested in contributing to the project, send 'em my way!
You've read that correctly Bear 77 (Why not 99 like in Get Smart?). It doesn't matter to me what other people do. I personally wouldn't do it. Like a mulligen in golf, it's fine in a friendly environment, which is what Strawman is, but in a golf competition or the real investing world, it doesn't work like that, unless of course you sell out your portfolio and sit on the sidelines. That's the only comparison. I want my scorecard to reflect reality, not just a game. As of now it resembles my real portfolio, but does not duplicate it, though I might yet do that.
