I have a level2 subscription here and use laptop or desktop at home to view. Considering an i-pad to enable tracking while on the move. Does anyone have experience of how workable that is please.

moneye,

as the ipad does not support java, unfortunately, you would not be able to run any of our streaming services - level 2, stockwatch, trades etc.

Regards

Ian

moneye, if you just want a rough idea of what is going on with your Stockwatch, an iPad is fine, just turn streaming off and keep doing refreshes. Not perfect but useful nevertheless.

Ian, Thanks for response. Are there any plans to produce apps to suit.?

Thanks also kimoldfield.

When I move away, return or refresh, I am hanging around while a plethora of ads are loading. pub.ad,double click etc., now I don`t mind this if I am on a freeby but why should I have to wait for this crap to load when paying- and why should it hide on my disc- I have the usual ad busters in tow, but these particular ones seem to be a part of MAM which is inviolate, any clues?

Ian's got to get his pension fund up......he's getting to that age.,.

HARRYCAT - 22 Aug 2012 22:16 - 9954 of 11003

I am running Vista 32 bit with 3gb of RAM & Pentium 2.5Ghz processor and the wait time for MAM to load is usually within 5 secs. The Java banners are the slowest item. If you are having to wait then it may be your system which is having too much to do within a set period of time. Depends on what other software you are running and the processor speed/RAM etc. Assuming you are running broadband internet at a decent speed, modern web pages should load very fast now. My gut reaction is that it's your PC, not MAM site.

Sequestor - 23 Aug 2012 07:23 - 9955 of 11003

The problem is the number of ads being loaded along with the MAM pages they flash up on the menu bar MAM are obviously being paid to include them.

The Other Kevin - 23 Aug 2012 08:59 - 9956 of 11003

Just like newspapers and magazines are paid to publish advertisments. Seq. If you want an advert-free zone be prepared to pay more.

Haystack - 23 Aug 2012 09:05 - 9957 of 11003

Your page loading speed does seem poor. I load mam pages in under a second on my pc. It is about the same speed on agoogle tablet. It sounds more like broadband speed is the problem.

Sequestor - 23 Aug 2012 10:56 - 9958 of 11003

lol
I think I pay enough already not to have double click stealing my private info., I shall investigate another supplier who doesn`t use it, its a pernicious piece of privacy invasion- and its getting worse, time a new law was brought in allowing one to opt out of this type of intrusion.

If you refresh and watch the toolbar you will see how many other sites are loaded along with MAM I counted seven, all ad spies, and you can`t stop them,. I have tried

As magazine did not arrive today, I tried to download it resulting in the following message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". Had the same problem last week as well.Any ideas,I followed the on screen instructions for this error to no avail.

Sequestor - 24 Aug 2012 07:29 - 9960 of 11003

I had problems with BT Broadband most of yesterday morning, they wouldn`t admit to it being country wide but said it was only a London problem, also the MacAfee software
was causing crashes, well they had to blame something.

Again god only knows what doubleclick and similar are doing to our computers.

Balerboy - 24 Aug 2012 08:52 - 9961 of 11003

Seq, if your that worried about cookies, set I.E. to delete all on close down. or use spybot.

The Other Kevin - 24 Aug 2012 09:45 - 9962 of 11003

....or use C Cleaner.

Haystack - 26 Aug 2012 18:46 - 9963 of 11003

It is a bit unrealistic to compalin about MAM and their adverts. Most commercial sites of all sorts have far more links and cookies as they load. Take this link to the film database imdb for instance. Just watch it as it loads.

The alternative is just to avoid the internet.

klal - 27 Aug 2012 12:57 - 9964 of 11003

Anybody having trouble accessing Amazon.co.uk? Been having intermittent problems accessing the site since the last two days. All others sites seem ok.

kimoldfield - 27 Aug 2012 13:37 - 9965 of 11003

Seems ok klal. I accessed the site via Safari.

klal - 27 Aug 2012 14:23 - 9966 of 11003

Thanks k. Something weird on my system - running some scans.

EDIT: Apparently, a problem with my ISP, O2. Some major fibre problem causing routing issues.

Mega Bucks - 27 Aug 2012 16:32 - 9967 of 11003

klal,no problems this end,just tried it and can gain access,i guess you must be looking for a new alarm clock so you dont over sleep for the the Trader Room :o))
