Starting the conversation

Strangely, it is set to appear there :thinking:

Changed a few things - let me know if it appears for you now. But otherwise, you can change your default home page

I’d wondered what happened to fintech talk. Sad my running RBS feature thread has gone :frowning:

Nice to see something else pop up.

Hi,
Good to see this new forum after the demise of FTT.
@Mathew regarding the tag system, how do users expand these if discussing something not already tagged? For instance, in your investors tag section I don’t think I saw any for Wealthify, Wealthsimple or Nutmeg.

Hi @nelliep

Tags are actually optional on posts, but they can be created by trusted users (I think level 3?). Even if you can’t do it, either myself or one of the @moderators can add them in :slight_smile:

Ok, thank you! :slightly_smiling_face:

I’d just like to say even at this early stage, what an absolute pleasure this forum is. Good range of topics thus far, good interactions. Hats off to all of you.

Stop it, I’ll wee myself out of embarrassment, and at my age, it’s perfectly possible :rofl:

Thanks for setting this forum up. I was a regular reader, and occasional poster of FTT. After a few days of it being offline a chance search lead me to the monzo thread about it (where I’m not a member) and noticed this morning the link to this forum. Looking forward to reading, posting and sharing!

Room for a “rude one”? :grin: :wave:

I think that I can bring a missing piece to the community puzzle by saying it how it is, occasionally upsetting people but all with good intentions :heart: Most will have seen me on the Monzo community, but for those who haven’t I was pretty active on there, I have decent fintech knowledge, did the app teardowns and am an all round technophile.

This place looks good so far! I’ve got some catching up to do but while I’m at it I hope that you’ll have me and that my contributions will help this community grow.

Welcome welcome welcome @Ordog.

Quick question though, are you able to prove that you are who you say you are. We’ve had a few fake accounts over here :joy:

Haha sure - how would you like me to do it?

I’ve just got to that part in the epic tale over in the other topic. @anon46977588 editing his Google sheets dashboard thingy was pretty conclusive - not sure what I could do :thinking:

The Google spreadsheet ownership was a pretty epic was of proving it. Wait until you get to the whole @Venomx identity question.

I guess we’ll cross that bridge if an account called therealordog ever shows up :joy:

Oh god, don’t say that - I’m a newbie here and you’re going to scare me away. I hope the blocking tools are better on here :rofl:

Wanted to kinda introduce myself a bit, used to be a regular user over on the #Starling forum back in the day. Very interested in Fintech, some would say a nerd, have many figures in many different pies. You can occasionally find me on the #Monzo, #Freetrade & #Curve communities now :heart_eyes: :wave: :rainbow_flag:

Hi Charlie

Were you Charlie on the Starling forum (if you’re in witness protection, no need to answer :flushed:)?
