TSP still hasn't posted prices for July 18

Hate to say it. I know there's been a LOT of work done here, but I still miss the hell out of the old website.

Well, there's no going back now. That'd be like re-installing windows 98. Nothing will work with it anymore.

There is a new website, that I spent $20k to have professionally developed, that was intended to merge TSPcalc and TSPcenter. The idea was that I would hire a professional design firm to do all of the visual things, and I would manage the back-end. They did their part. I never did mine. So I don't know if I will ever launch it. Here's what the new forum would look like:
https://beta.tspcalc.com/community/index.php?forums/

And the new home page, ignore the error banner:
https://beta.tspcalc.com/community/index.php

Similar thing with the TSPcalc app, but the opposite problem. It works, it's on my phone, and I get push trade alerts, but it's ugly and not very user friendly. I don't know if I will ever launch that either.

The weakest link here is me.

I used to manage a couple of websites in the past. One became fairly popular via the now defunct MyFamily.com host. A lot of folks shared and uploaded a lot of old photos, family trees, genealogical research, and such. Then, Ancestry.com took over MyFamily and suddenly all our stuff became their property and you had to pay to see your own stuff anymore. Managing a website can be a pain in the butt and very time consuming. Never made any money at it, but it was a real learning experience.

I am still thankful for both the TSPcenter and TSPcalc sites. For me, the last 2-3 years of watching the stock market has sucked the life out of me to a curtain degree.
I still use TSPcenter to keep a daily/weekly eye on my own TSP account ... especially since the TSP.GOV website made its new changeover. And I still use TSPcalc (maybe not as such) to do research or to create a new model. I found #141365, 171558, 171082, 122310, and created 172005 for a simple retirement plan. I will gladly keep paying the $20/year to keep this service!
Thank you for both of these websites and I hope you keep them going!

At one time you were a virtual power plant of enthusiasm about TSP. What changed?

I moved back to the US, went to swing shift, and bought a boat.

How did that car project turn out?

Under people’s names in the forum, there is some info about them: number of posts, when they joined, and a link to PM them.

Would it me difficult to add the fund the poster is in now also?

Probably not that difficult, but I don't spend much time developing tspcenter anymore.

Why is it when I look at the last 5 day list it shows fos7749 is up 4.19%, but click on his chart it looks like he is down nearly 2% over the last 5 days?

I don't have time to check right now but I will try to follow up. Don't be afraid to remind me

It looks like it sorted itself out. Could have been a glitch that occured when mysql crashed.

I don't see it now either. Anybody gaining 4% over the last week would have to be some kind of magician. Thanks.
