If you're having any problems, or want to suggest some improvements, please post below!
Level2 changes
In the last few weeks we've needed to implement some code changes to make us compliant with the LSE's rules on the access of Level2 data.
The following requirement is now in place:
You can only use 1 program on 1 computer to access Level2 on MoneyAM using a single username.
This means that you are able to view as many Level2 windows using any one particular browser, or program, that you wish, however you will not be able to use both Firefox and Internet Explorer at the same time (the same goes for using Quote Tracker or TradeSeeker at the same time as viewing it using a web browser)
If you find you're being logged off of MoneyAM's Level2 with the message 'you've logged on from another location' then check the above and make sure you're not running any other programs at the same time before reporting this as a bug.

Addo: Your posting above has a superfluous TD close tag - the browser then interprets part of your message as being outside the scope of the HTML table, and therefore it renders it outside the table, i.e. at the top, in this case.
This is always a potential problem when posters are allowed to use HTML tags in their postings. The alternatives would be to disallow HTML posts altogether (not a popular choice), provide a limited set of tags that people can use (for example, insert image, change text color etc), or write a full HTML parser to check that individual posts will not upset the layout of the page. The latter is obviously the most flexible option.

Let's be honest, who found all these tricks ? Red headers, java pop ups, onmouseover popups etc... you miserable lot, I want to applause. I've been in an isolation cell for a year.
To be honest you wouldn't like the new one's I've found. Wait until someone dare's me to set the place on fire :-)

Fair enough.
On the Trades screen, it is possible to request trades for more than one day. However the data that is returned shows a time but no date, making it impossible to use the data. I would imagine that anybody using this feature would expect to put the data into excel or similar - so a line separator would just be awkward. I think you need to actually show the date when a request spans two or more days.

If you use the 'sort by' option on the trade screen, chose something other than 'Live Stream' e.g. 'Time (latest first)' and you will get time/date included with the price data. Live streaming trades will only include trades for today and it's actually a slight bug if trades older than this are presented - this has been fixed already and is likely to be on the beta site soon.

Is the trade price always going to be shown to two decimal places? Some shares in the smaller companies have three (eg CYX).

Kayak, am I included in the "us" ? Or am I in the nutcases waiting to break the door down ? I know you've commented that I am completely bonkers before :-)
