Yes, but not until some time after go-live. There's also a significant subscriber enhancement on the agenda for both sites related to embedded image links... but that's someone else's thunder.

SI will eventually gain every feature of iHub and vice-versa with the main exceptions being things like: 1. iHub's moderated threads allow for post deletion for Matt's review but no bans. SI's moderated threads will allow for bans (but not pre-bans) but not post deletions. Only Dave will be able to delete posts. 2. Search will have to be handled differently because of SI's message base being about 4 times the size of iHub's. 3. Free members will be allowed to post on SI, but will be allowed far fewer posts per day. It (the new version) is currently set up to allow 3 per day versus the 18 iHub allows. Other than that, both sites will end up with largely the same features. I should point out (again) that when we flip the switch this weekend, certain features we currently have will go away immediately, some of which may never return. Portfolios is one such item. I'll keep the portfolio data in case we can cost-effectively offer them in the future, but my inclination is for us to focus only on being the best place to talk about stocks, and let other places be the best at charts, portfolios, etc. Preview/Spellcheck also won't be available right away, but will be a fairly high-priority feature addition. However, when we flip the switch, we'll also immediately gain features this version of the site never had.
