Closure of the UK Discussion Boards

When investing, your capital is at risk. The value of your investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you put in.

The content of this article is provided for information purposes only and is not intended to be, nor does it constitute, any form of personal advice. Investments in a currency other than sterling are exposed to currency exchange risk. Currency exchange rates are constantly changing, which may affect the value of the investment in sterling terms. You could lose money in sterling even if the stock price rises in the currency of origin. Stocks listed on overseas exchanges may be subject to additional dealing and exchange rate charges, and may have other tax implications, and may not provide the same, or any, regulatory protection as in the UK.


The Fool UK Discussion Boards have now been removed from this website, having previously been closed to new messages since November 2016.

Pages that previously required you to be logged in to view them — eg, ‘Favourite Boards’, ‘Favourite Fools’, ‘Replies to Your Posts’, ‘Marked for Later Reply’ and ‘My Fool’ — are no longer available.

As a result of these changes, you now only need to log in to the Fool site in order to access our premium services — Share Advisor, Hidden Winners and Pro — The Motley Fool Share Dealing Service continues to have its own separate log in.

We’d like to sincerely thank the many thousands of posters who have made the Fool boards a truly unique and wonderful place over almost two decades. The amount of time that people have put into helping their fellow Fools, and the remarkable detail behind many of the answers given, has been truly astounding and inspiring to witness. 

If you are missing your daily dose of Foolish banter then you might be interested to know that two enterprising Foolish posters have set up a new discussion site at lemonfool.co.uk. Many people who posted on the UK Fool Boards are now discussing a wide range of topics there, and several of the most popular Fool UK boards have already been recreated on the site.  

And Fool posters OldBoyReturns and loglorry have opened a dedicated ‘Banking Sector & Fixed Income’ forum — “for discussion of fixed income, across all sectors and geographies including distressed opportunities, and discussion of the banking sector and its regulation in general” — at https://www.fixedincomeinvestments.co.uk/boards/

Again, our thanks and best wishes go to everyone who helped to make the Fool UK Discussion Boards a very special place indeed.
