The "number unread" column doesn't work. When you come back to the site (and log-in again) the number unread is being reset to the number of messages in the thread.

Also, though I can't put my finger on what the exact circumstances are, I'm havoing to log-in over and over again, which is really getting on my wick.

Ian, if I try to add "DDD VOD" it says both cannot be added, whereas it should be able to add VOD.

On the news, the news site you use filters out Rule 8 and certain obscure RNSs, which is OK as a default but there should be an option to have them all. The "A" flag should be based on the whole lot, not on the default subset.

Kayak,

Sorry for the delay.

seems like a silly question, but are you putting a comma or tabbing down between EPICS?

This may be what is causing the problem, as if you type the epics as you have in your post it will give you an error message, but will think that they are just one stock with a space in the middle.

I hope this makes sense - let me know.

Ian

Oh OK, you might be right, sorry :-)

No problem Kayak,

Thats what I am here for - plus it took me long enough to work it out - never was any good at puzzles!

When looking for BBG trades for yesterday (27/3/03) produces:

(a) Today's trades instead of yesterday's when 'Sort By' is set to 'Live Streaming'.
(b) 'No trades found' when sorted by latest first.

In other words I can't get yesterday's trades for BBG.

brennanr,

If you select 'live streaming' then you will not get historical data.

'live stream' implies today, and thus overrides and date selection.

As I said in my message < < (b) 'No trades found' when sorted by 'latest first'. >> - this is not 'live streaming'. This should have worked but didn't. However, now it is. I have noticed this a few times with a few stocks - sorting by 'latest first' for the previous day's trades comes up blank. I will let you know when it happens again.

I am having trouble using 'News' searching facility. Unable to find and RNS announcements say for 1 Jan 2002 to 1 Dec 2002. This is with a number of stocks.

brennanr,

We only have the RNS announcements released since our services went into place, and there are no backdated RNS.

A quick check shows the first to be in the database from December 2002.

ISF Update, Hi, I asked this question about 6 weeks back and never got any reply !! So I'll try again. Re ISF,Ftse tracker ETF etc.If I try to add it to my Stockwatch it says NO,either it can't get it OR my (free) sub won't allow it.

I've just looked at the ISF trades for today,so your software at least "understands" ISF.........SO,can't I get it on my Stockwatch thingy,because I'm only a "freebie" or what,Answer please,its driving me Nuts !!Thanks.

I find that sometimes after looking at Trades if I then do 'Back' in Internet Explorer the message 'Page Expired' appears, instead of the previous web page. This can occur even after spending only a few moments looking at the Trades page, so I don't see how the page can really be expired after such a short time.

phobos: I think it's because your free sub doesn't allow it (there's an exchange fee)

MM

MM, I doubt it. I think it's because they have been confused with indices. They appear, inexplicably, in a link from the Indices page.

Kayak: I do believe you're right. MM

Thanks MM & Kayak,yeah I assumed something was wrong 'cause I could get ISF via the trades page,which I presume is nearly as "live" as the stockwatch page. Put it down as a "BUG" then,which is where we came in !!!!!!!

ISF, "BUGS" update. IT WORKS, YIPPEEEE and its up 2p too !!!!!!!!!!!

phobos: very kind of you, but I can't always guarantee a rise :)

MM

Why has the system got so slow? It is now almost totally unusable. I get the same blank screen with stockwatch as I used to get the Monitor on ADVFN. Unless this changes soon I shall consider cancelling my subscription. I don't know whether the problem lies with all the extra bandwidth involved in downloading adverts - which as far as I am concerned is just junk - or whether the problem is with streaming. I don't know and I don't care. Either the problem gets sorted or I'm out of here.

OK here, brennanr, are you sure some other window isn't taking up CPU power?

No other window is open.
