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.

Derek, thats understood and an understandable restriction however its a shame that stuff is effectively lost. There are several threads where it would be almost impossible to access inof eg GD tea rooms, PC help thread etc

Kayak: Ahhh, very wise. Bullie might start adding bandwidth charges . . ;-)

This keeps appearing when I click on N button in stockwatch. Any ideas why, please?

TOK,

Can you please do the following:

start menu/run and type:
ipconfig /flushdns

and try again?

J.

Hi John, Warning message came up: Cannot find file ipconfig etc

Edit: Silly me. omitted spaces either side of the slash. Tried again and a DOS message flashed up and was soon gone. Will now try to access news.

TOK,

What version of windows are you using?

J.

Hi John - Sedan chair WIN 98. Just tried N button again but same message came up. All other parts of the site seem to be working OK.

EDIT I get as far as the list of articles with the N button. The error message comes up when I select a particular article. Curious.

TOK,

These stories are from a third party, I will let Jonathan know your reply when he is back in the office.

Ian

Thanks, Ian

TOK,

You'll need to reboot on Windows 98 in order to do the equiv of ipconfig /flushdns.

However, it seems that you're using a proxy server in which case it'll have no effect.

Can you ask the owners of the proxy to do the equivalent of a /flushdns and see if that helps?

J.

Ermmm.....what's a proxy server? I loaded On Speed a couple of days ago. Anything to do with that?

OnSpeed own the proxy, and somewhere between them and uk-wire there is a problem.

can you try and access the stuff another way, a different ISP maybe?

Problem seems to have corrected itself. It surfaced yesterday for a short time and then staring working properly. So you think On Speed is the problem. Might have to ditch them. Thanks for your help.

EDIT Just found a facility to set On Speed to bypass certain sites. I've configured to omit Money AM. I'll see what tomorrow brings.

RE post 3007 (navigating large posts) and related things.
Today I encouted a problem with terminal and like a good boy I used the enhanced search facility to check if it was a known problem. It returned this topic amongst others. As Spaceman found this topic is too big for the "all messages" button (so I could use "Find on this page" in IE).

An improvement could be a "topic navigation" facility to find text (first, last, previous, next) and goto post (number) within large topics.
Another idea could be for the seach results to use this to go to the first occurance of the search target within the topic selected from the search results (with the "topic navigation" primed with find next). And finaly the "back to list" button coud take you back to the search results.

Hope this is cohearent and useful.

skg,

Thanks for the feedback - some valid points - I will sit down with the tech guys to discuss navigation on the BB's.

Wierd bug in charts.

Set up a 1 year chart, say UKX, style Line, grid Full, scale linear, scheme Standard, untick Fill box, but set colour Orange. The resulting chart doesn't contain today's point, or at least it doesn't on my PC. Set any other colour and it does!

Now this wouldn't be important but for some reason it is defaulting to Orange a lot of the time and I'm getting charts without today's point. Took me ages to find out why.

Kayak,

I will get the guys to take a look.

Ian

Still got the problem with having to refresh terminals after 8am because when they are opened in the morning the streaming chart shows yesterday's action. It used to be blank, waiting for today's action.

Still got the 'orange' problem, I know it sounds unlikely but it's true :-)
