Hello,

As you can see, we have put the new bulletin boards live.

The migration went smoothly, though it look at little longer than I expected it to!

If you notice any problems on the boards, please post below.

J.

Here's a silly one - I can't post .29!

edit: now when I try to edit what comes out as .29, even the edit box is telling me I typed .29 - but I didn't. It was supposed to be (dollar sign) 12.29.

StonyB,

Thnks for the feedback - I shall pass it onto JT.

Chocolat,

Interesting - is this just happening with dollar signs? I will let JT know,

Ian

chocolat/Ian - I mentioned this to J yesterday - I think he's working on it.

Kyoto,

Thanks I will get him to update here when he has looked at it,

Ian

chocolat - might be stating the obvious - but I've been putting a space between the dollar and the number in the last couple of days - works.

Hi all.

Unless I am missing a control, I wonder if you could include a "go to end" button as before please.

seawallwalker,

You will see at the bottom of every thread list towards the right hand side, a series of numbers - if you click on the last number this will take you to the end of the trhead,

Ian

StonyB - have to agree with you on the subject of the icons. Their colourful nature and large size and proximity relative to the poster's name seems to serve to detract attention away from it - and the post below. I thought I'd get used to it (subconsciously start editing them out visually) after a few days, but it isn't happening. I don't think I'll ever like them.

Clickable functionality ought to be sized, spaced and visually presented relative to frequency of use. Since the icon options are probably not going to be used so much I think they should be more discrete. Ironically the edit button, which surely would be more frequently used, is much more visually understated. The page navigation buttons are smaller than the profile icons and quite close together, yet these are really important. I find myself having to 'aim' my mouse more carefully than I did before.

A good example of icons that work are the ones in the MoneyAM Terminal. Relatively small, colour consistent (so it doesn't feel like a child's paintbox), understated and dare I say, a bit classier?

I hate saying all this because having spent a lot of my life working in and studying software development, with heavy doses of 'interface functionality engineering', I know you usually don't please most of the people most of the time, and coming up with an interface you like and having people tell you it doesn't work for them is a bit depressing. Actually, software development is an increasingly thankless task which is why I got out of it - and why I really sympathise with what the MoneyAM team are going through.

But I still find the new design vaguely irritating. Sorry folks!

Kyoto,

Thanks for the feedback I will pass it onto JT,

Ian

Thank you

why can i no longer access the investor room threads via the comments at the bottom of the quote page ? all i get is an error code.

Cant access investors room via "Favorites" but can access Moneyam then go to investors room. Also cannot access Trades on NLR Programm not responding coming up. Also when you type a message in the posting box then go to another page to check something when you come back to the message its wiped out and you have to start from scratch.

jimwren,

We are aware of this problem and working to resolve it - please accept my apologies.

SEADOG,

Can you resave the investors room URL as a favourite to see if this makes any difference. I have just tried NLR on trades and have been able to access it fine - can you copy and paste the error page you are getting and e mail it to me ian@moneyam.com? IF you navigate away from the bulletin board whilst typing a message but before you have posted that message, it will not be retained - this works in the same way as the old BB's


Ian

I am able to access NLR trades page but it will not scroll thats when the error comes up

SEADOG,

I am not sure I understand so please forgive my ignorance - are you saying that you can get the trades page up, but when you try to scroll down or use the mouse wheel to scroll down it changes to an error page?

Ian

Yes thats it

Deleted old investors room and inserted new ---- works fine now SD

SEADOG,

Very strange, I have pulled up the trades page and can scroll with no problems at all - if you haven't done one in a while you might want to try a windows update just to make sure everything is up to date with your machine,

IAn

Have just upgraded to window XP so should be up to date on auto.

SEADOG,

I am not sure what is causing this and I cannot reproduce it - can you try an update just to make sure and restart your machine to see what see if this clears what is happening at your end?

Ian
