Hello! I'm a new Board Guide here!

Hello ISA, Toisas, Peps and Tessas Peeps :hello:

Just introducing myself as a new board guide in these parts - I've only been a board guide for about a month, so do be gentle with me; I'm still on the learning curve! :o

Looking forward to working with you all :beer:

Crabman :D

    Hi Crabman,
    Congratulations mate! :beer:
    Hope you enjoy the sky high salary and perks!!;)

    First job - can you re-sticky this thread?
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=401374

    Kazza has worked tirelessly to keep this thread up to date and with IR changing quite frequently it's a real good source to point enquirers to and to use to see what the current best buys are.

    For some reason it's been unsticky-ed, though other Boards contain far more than the 3 on here.

    Go crabman Go!! :T

    Cheers Ian :beer: Good question: It was only removed as a sticky quite recently so I'd best check with isasmurf before resticking it, otherwise I may receive a severe beating, and I don't want to die just yet! :D

    Thanks for the support Ian W, it's much appreciated.

    A couple of days ago I received a response to the PM I sent to board guide:

    He apologised for not contacting me with the decision to unsticky my thread. He also said:
    There is already the official "Best ISA" thread and as that is where people are directed to through the article it would be preferable if the Best ISA discussion took place there.

    If your thread is still popular then it won't need to be stickied as it will stay near the top anyway.

    The thing is I make updates to the first post in my thread at least every few days, so the best ISAs list is always kept up-to-date. It is mainly the continually updated first post in the thread that MSE members are clicking to view, so they don't always post in the thread themselves. So even though the thread is still receiving a lot of views - over 32,000 as I type - as posts aren't always being added to the thread it can still 'fall' down the board, which is disappointing.
    Please call me 'Kazza'.

    That doesn't follow, due to the nature of the updates, as Kazza indicates. Speaking personally I found her post far more useful than the Best Isa thread, and would rather that be unstickied!

    Edited to say Hi to Crabman.
