foale,

I'm seeing about it being an option to either open in a new window, or open in existing one.

J.

If anyone else is using Privoxy and has noticed a funny with this or with Newswatch, I have a patch for it!

Kayak,.

If you want to throw the patch my way with installation instructions, I'll add it to the help pages.

J

Nice icon. Who's the bloke with the glasses and the no hair?

In the interests of equality of access, this doesn't work on the Mac (or on our Linux/UNIX browsers) . . . any plans?

MightyMicro,

Depending on demand, it's possible that we'll do a cut compiled against gtk# libraries which would make it cross platform.

J.

Jon,

That would be good -- Andy Lovell (office full of Macs and UNIX boxen -- is feeling orphaned ;-)

hi when I do refresh stock list
perhaps after add ing some more to my list

takes quite a while to re list them...several minutes..
at perhaps one every 30 secs..with corresp bleep
is that whats supposed to happen

also they appear slightly out of time sequence
though its mostly accurate

foale,

I will pass onto JT,

Ian

foale,

Currently when you refresh the stocklist, it'll repull the days news, it'll also only display them 5 at a time.

The next version to be released with resolve these issues.

J

ok...just giving some feedback...
all sounds good

I am still very happy with it....

foale,

Glad to hear it :)

J.

What would be extremely useful is a version that gets all RNS (and RNS equivalent services) news for all stocks (not the AFX rehashed cr*p). It would be great to have always open in a corner of the screen. Currently if one wants streaming news one has to keep a whole page open. You could have RNS/AFX tick boxes (also effective on a stock list) and an 'all stocks' option...

On a connected topic it would also be great to have RNS/AFX filters on the streaming news page in the same way as another site...

The client window doesn't seem to keep its position on being restarted. It would be great if it did.

Kayak,

I will pass your comments on to the tech guys,

Ian

As an enhancement to post 17 one could have an additional filter to filter out routine RNS announcements, i.e. remove:

Rule 2.10
Rule 8.1
Rule 8.2
Rule 8.3
SAR 3
SAR 5
Section 11
Section 198
Listing Rule 15.4.10
EPT Disclosure
Holding(s) in Company
Net Asset Value(s)
Blocklisting Interim Review
FRN Variable Rate Fix
Transaction in Own Shares
Portfolio Update
Cancellation
Major Interests
Official List Notice
Disclosure Table
Notice of Results

This would allow the window to be kept closed and only to pop up with potentially important news.

It would be sufficient to have a tick box for all of them. E.g. four tick boxes:

1. RNS and RNS equivalents excluding routine announcemnts
2. RNS and RNS equivalents routine annoucements
3. AFX
4. AFXU

Again, this all applies to the streaming news page too.

Kayak post 20 would be useful

Sorry to be stupid, but how do I check that I've done everything correctly? How do I get the News Alert box up on my screen?

Maggot,

You should see a little icon down on teh left hand side in your system tray. If you right click on this you will see some options - one of which is show window - if you click on that it will bring up the box.

Ian

Should also add that if you haven't already opened it you will need to go to programs and open it from there,

Ian

Nope. Cant find the Systems Tray under Systems. But have got newsalert1 and newsalert2 on the desktop, the first of which which requires me to download .NET Framework version 1.1.4322. Is that it?
