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.

Let's be honest, who found all these tricks ? Red headers, java pop ups, onmouseover popups etc... you miserable lot, I want to applause. I've been in an isolation cell for a year.

To be honest you wouldn't like the new one's I've found. Wait until someone dare's me to set the place on fire :-)

Addo, are you going to attack us with superfluous apostrophes then :-)

Lucky we are thick skinned. Give the techies a break. Gausie nice pop up in javascript. New Boys new toys I suppose.

Fair enough.

On the Trades screen, it is possible to request trades for more than one day. However the data that is returned shows a time but no date, making it impossible to use the data. I would imagine that anybody using this feature would expect to put the data into excel or similar - so a line separator would just be awkward. I think you need to actually show the date when a request spans two or more days.

If you use the 'sort by' option on the trade screen, chose something other than 'Live Stream' e.g. 'Time (latest first)' and you will get time/date included with the price data. Live streaming trades will only include trades for today and it's actually a slight bug if trades older than this are presented - this has been fixed already and is likely to be on the beta site soon.

Excellent - thanks.

I don't have the energy anymore. Sorry. Best of luck guys

Addo

Sorry Techies, but best you find out from us than from certain other types you'll get when you throw the doors open...

Is the trade price always going to be shown to two decimal places? Some shares in the smaller companies have three (eg CYX).

Kayak, am I included in the "us" ? Or am I in the nutcases waiting to break the door down ? I know you've commented that I am completely bonkers before :-)

Addo, easy, you're a nutcase :-)

Tell me something I and everyone else doesn't know. hehe

Andy - I was just in stockwatch but couldn't get out!! Tried to move to bulletin board but nothing happened, then tried home page, same again. Had to open different site and then re enter.

A round up on suggestions and bugs on this thread.(partially embellished).

Fonts and colours on streaming Stockwatch and trades need changing to give more impact.

Intraday charts still need attention, axis needs sorting.

Wide screen BB

I year chart sometimes gives 1 month.

Hover button for indices mispelt

Pound sign gone missing

Separate Bb?s for sectors , foreign stocksetc

Gausie to chuck Addo in a bath of vile green alcohol ;_0)

Addo to send Mr Boydell another bottle of Utter Bastard Red wine

White fonts in buttons - need tarting up

User defined backgrounds etc

Charts, skip weekends etc

Chat system (in the pipeline)

Sort out some HTML/Javascript posting ability(or should say remove)

Bullshare,

I will bring a crate of "Utter Bastard" with me on my next trip. A cheekly little number, I usually give that one away and keep the decent stuff for me. I'm not sure when that will be, most of the funerals have already gone, and it seems to be only the cheery occasions I get to Blighty. However I am in England for June 21st, and will be alone, probably give the new Vanquish a run :-) I have a reunion from class o'78 of the "Creme de Menthe" gang !! (I kid you not).

Personally there are a lot of things I'd change about this site, however that's my personal preference. I do believe the actual mechanics and presentation of the FinanceBB has some very good points, they have been very well thought through, like it or not they have. The only problem is starving to bloody death whilst sat there waiting for a response !! This place seems so vibrant after that place.

Not so many things that can be improved, tools and stuff, I never use anymore, I don't buy or sell stocks or anything like that anymore. Purely more predictable investments these days. Hence my lack of interest. Now if you could teach me to become a trading legend, then I might start back up again.

Regs Addo

addo; look forward to sharing some of the crate with you. Take your point about this Bb and the FBB and maybe we can get a way of having user default settings so they can view everything in there own favourite format. Something we are looking at.

Now that would be nice.
For example I do like the way FBB present threads with alternate white and yellow bands. Makes reading across the columns very easy.
Also the general layout is crisp and uses screen space well - very easy on the eye.

There's a strange bug on the BB.

It seems that when you put in Javascript popups, some bugger edits your posts.

Gausie. Odd that isn't it:-0)

Is there any chance of gaining access to older news for particular stocks. I want to be able to input the Epic code and find all news going back at least a couple of years. I have had the same problem when ADVFN came a long. I had to keep my Etrade account open to be able to acces AFX & RNS news prior to the ADVFN launch date. Is it going to be the same here.

On the Fundamentals side, could we have the major shareholders together with their holdings for companies, plus the names of the main officers of the company. These are very useful features that Etrade still has and ADVFN doesn't.
