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.

Main screen - total posts = less than number read.

not sure if this is a bug.. but, I shortcutted direct to the BB and it shows ALL of the posts, and I thought oooh! loads of responses to threads. so i clicked on one of the ones I was interested in, then it asked me to log in, got into the thread... and all the posts had gone... of course it was reading the unread posts because I hadn't logged in... silly me...!!! is that a bug??? no probably not... well it's been a HARD day.... :@)

I think it is the lack of a login method. It is assumed that people will come in by the home page. In fact people will bookmark the stockwatch or BB pages. The journo stuff on the home page is lost as most people won't read it. A button to take you to the journo stuff would be useful and a defined login method.

Haystack - you could be right.. :@)

Bullshare.... on the personal bit... when you click on someones alias... if they have an email address could you add a button to offer the user to 'add this person to your personal email list' as the chances are if you email a person once, god forbid... you might want to do it again and it seems silly to hunt for a post to click on them again to contact... :@)

A bit of work there for the backroom boys..... :@).

When you work on the portfolio section a usefull addition would be the ability to include shorts. Mainly of use to Swing and Position traders but a facility not offered on other sites.

Juzzle. go into Edit watchlist and you can sort column order, also click on any column and it will sort the content. Colour and fonts will be made bigger and brighter.

Lesk. Not to sure about the e mail thing , we will have a look.Also, if you are not logged in it will show you all posts as unread, it cannot recognise you.

Sputnik. Shorts will be available in the portfolio. Portfolio should be out on test we hope later this week

This afternoon I set up a watchlist, but couldn't edit apparently whilst data was streaming. Have been able to at this time of night and chosen the data I wish. May try to edit it during trading tomorrow, but might be a bug there.

Also, on watchlist, added IXIC and SP500. Mid appears correct, but chg and % don't register. INDU seems fine however.

Hi folks. I am very impressed at the amount of stuff working here given the short development time - keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing the streaming data in operation tomorrow.

I have not had time to plough through all of this thread so apologies if I am repeating a known bug. I have found that if I go to stockwatch and then attempt to go elsewhere on the site I get no response from the server - on one occasion the browser gave up altogether and stopped responding - the logout procedure does work however and if I log-in again everything is fine until I go back to stockwatch.

One of the major attractions of ADVFN as far as I am concerned is the readibility of the monitor, trades and level 2 screens. For instance, with trades the separation of buys/sells into two distinct columns is a real bonus - not quite so important for SETS stocks, but with SEAQ to get an instant idea of current sentiment it is excellent. I choose to continue subscribing to ADVFN uncontended level 2 even though I get level2 through GNI simply because it is so readable - when you have 4 monitors cluttered with data it is essential in my book to be able to see at a glance the current state of play.

BTW - I have not had the opportunity of checking out Level 2 yet, but there is one BIG thing on my wish list which ADFVN does not handle - when displaying only a certain percentage of the SETS order book an option to show the volume of buy/sell orders ONLY for the given percentage would be excellent !

qwento - I've also had problems today trying to go back to the BB from watchlists. Things tend to freeze. On 1 occasion I had to shut down and start again.

Folks: this is why we have Beta test with software systems. Thanks very much for all the input, it is immensely useful and the software engineering team appreciate your taking the time out to find and tell us of problems.

Much of this didn't happen when we tested the site in house -- some things simply have to be field tested. Thanks for helping us do our job properly.

PS:I'll buy you all a drink some day.

MM,

Some threads, (including this one), have a total of messages, and a greater total UNREAD!

Small thing I know, but just thought I would point it out.

An example;

Rest assured, we're on the case.

Sorry - this may have already been mentioned but......

1) when a thread has been read by a user, can it be turned a different colour? Like that other site? Would be easier to keep track of the threads read often when scanning down the list.

2) Maybe its just me, but there is only one page of threads - there seems to be no other way to get the next pages - if indeed there are any.

3) Can we have a special part of the site where Bullshare posts all his insider knowledge? ;)

I added to this thread http://www.moneyam.com/BulletinBoard/ShowPostList?forumID=1&threadID=6 and appears to have posted it under Bullie's comment

Request:
Please have option to remember logon id and password.

I know it is a minor issue - but saves a couple of seconds every day.

Thanks, Mike

Hi tried my best to read all the post...but just too many

It might be usefull if there separate threads for each main area of the site to which we could post our problems otherwise a lot of repetition...just a thought

OR perhaps we could all show the topic you are talking about in bold..to highlight it for others...I will try that one to see if it catches on !

PASSWORD when I changed my password...I never got a confirmation message to say it had been done

GRAPHS I have been displaying some graphs but would like to see some volume info. which I had found useful in the past
An hourly graph over 1,2,3,4,5 and 10 day time zone would be useful

STOCKLIST....mine appears to be wider than the page would allow..perhaps you are meant to select only some options

LOGOUT..I did not see a confirmation that I was in fact logged out

I use WINDOWS XP and IE 6

With Marathonmike on that one!

Are the prices on futures going to be real time and for what exchanges.
It will be good to compare actual futures to those the SB companies are quoting.

Tried to access the page but I get this ......

Not sure if already mentioned but when you open a thread it would be nice for the epic link to the quote page to appear with the thread title.
