Yahoo Finance Message Boards Beta Goes Social

* Messages are organized into “Topics,” with an original post plus all of its replies.
* You can read topics in one of six views. To find the one you like, click the Simple, Summary, Expanded, Msg List, and Threaded links just above the messages within the topic you are reading.
* All messages can be given a quality rating.
* You can filter out messages you don’t want to see by using the minimum rating feature when browsing topics within a board or reading the messages within a topic.
* You can track any board using My Yahoo! or your own RSS reader. Just use the RSS and Add to My Yahoo! buttons below the list of topics.
* You can express yourself by displaying your Yahoo! Avatar with your posts. You can control how your avatar is displayed in Message Boards Settings.
* You can search messages or topics by author or keyword and restrict those queries to specific message boards. Display all messages or only topics. It’s your choice.
