I'd like to take a second to make note of what I think is a great part of the J Capper site.

I've been using J Capper user since the beginning of the year and really like it. As promised it's really been an eye opener as far as improving my handicapping knowledge. I've spent a lot of time in the data window and read and watched the help docs multiple times. Each time I've learned something new.

Recently I've been spending a bit of time going through the old message board, and think the info in it is just great. Not just the answers that Jeff has given but the questions and comments that have been made by the rest of the users. Often I look at a question, and think "what a great idea", I'm glad I thought of it!

Just the other day, I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas concerning wagering strategies. . I stumbled on a thread concerning the advantage of setting wagering goals. It was exactly what I was wondering about. Jeff's comments were great, and some of the questions were exactly the ones that I had.

I would like to thank both Jeff and all for providing this great part of this site to all of us who have arrived at J Capper after you.

Jim

Jim I agree 100 percent. I just bought the program a couple of months ago and have read every article I could. There is a lot of great info. I've paid super close attention to anything posted by Jeff, Windoor, or Ishmael and am trying to sift through the rest.

Good Luck Jim

JCapper Message Board Search Function
Something this board has lacked - and something I've been working on in my "spare" time (like I have any) is a Search function for this board.

For those of you who may not know, the original JCapper Board was hacked - and that event persuaded me to take it down.

In my spare time I wrote enough code to get this board up and running. My initial goals were to write a comprehensive security layer into it (so that it would be a lot more difficult for someone to hack than the original.) I also wanted you guys to be able to read posts, log in, and make posts.

Longer term, I wanted you guys to be able to log in and search older posts too.

Life has a way of laughing at us - and our plans.

A couple of years ago, I realized that I really didn't have any free time. As a result, I continued to add new features to the JCapper program - but pushed creating a search function for the JCapper Message Board off into the future.

At one point I put the project up for bid on a site called elance.com - and paid several hundred dollars to a "programmer" who talked a good game - but who in the end couldn't produce a working prototype.




Well today I am happy to make the following announcement:

I have been working - quietly and behind the scenes - and as of right now - have an actual working prototype Search function for the JCapper Message Board.

It's only about 80% right now... But it's far enough along that I'm willing to post about it (and provide a link to it at the bottom of this post.)

Note: You need to be logged in to the board in order to use it.

Note: The Private Part of the Board is not yet enabled for search. (There are still a few things security-wise that I need to create before I'm willing to turn that part of it on.

Note: Over the next few days I'll be adding more functionality to it. And even though it's fairly intuitive - I do plan on writing up some basic operating instructions for using it.

That said, here's the link...
