There is a really good tech team here, lets give them some ideas for enhancements or to cure any bugs we find.

No, I'm not planning on using automated scripts ;} Just want to make first access to password protected pages like the Investors Room a bit quicker.

When you say "you can save your login details", are you referring to the checkbox on the login page? If so, this option doesn't work for me. Tried it with cookies fully enabled but I was always redirected to the login page on first visit. Checked with both IE6 and Netscape 7.1.

Anyhow, cookies are machine specific. I often use other peoples PCs and don't want my login details stored on their machine. For my own security reasons(!) I much prefer to have permanent cookies disabled.

I realise that brokers and spread betters use more secure login methods - financial transactions are involved. Can't see that accessing something like the Investors Room falls into the same category ;}

dodgydave,

It is worth knowing that if you specify the url with http://:@website.com, some of the less intelligent proxy servers log this whole request, including the username/password.

We are not going to take the backwards step and go to basic authentication as there would be many other issues with doing this.

the 'save your login details' meerly populates the fields with the values, it is not meant to log you directly in.

The problem is not so much with proxy servers, but when you click away from the site e.g. by clicking on a link on the BB. The site you go to will log the URL which sent you there, which includes your username and password. This will appear in the site administrator's log and it also will stand out from all the others given its format.

Kayak,

I was just coming to that :D

:-)

There's work for you on the bugs thread :-))

Yeah, found it myself last night, the people who need to know, know, and will be working on it.

Im with market eye at the moment and although you are cheaper and one gets level 2 one doesnt get the streaming ticker for trades and price changes which one gets on market eye any chance of getting it here?
Awaiting reply.

give us learners a couple of weeks free L2 with stocks of our choice. its expensive for anyone who is not actively trading. show us ITS WORTH THE MONEY

Bit of a radical one here. There are certain rampers I do not wish to see on the bulletin board. I believe that the subliminal effect of even the titles of the threads seen day after day after day is enough to affect one's judgment, and I'd rather they went. No names, no pack drill: just use your eyes. And yes, I do filter their individual posts. Nevertheless, I've already all but had it with the investor's BB.

Back to Indicators on Stockwatch, again - the arrows and dot. Prefer plain colour as used in Protfolio, to the shaded / 3D indicators.

Only a small detail.

Regards.

Charts:

Still got the pricing on the left hand axis - needs to be on the right!

TBS,

I will pass your comments onto Felix, who is our main developer when it comes to charts.

How about removing the AM banner from the level 2 screen - or stick it at the bottom of so I don't have to scroll down the page to view the rest of the level 2 data. Just a pop up window without the banner would be nice :) Let's face it, everyone knows it's streaming from the AM web site. Don't they?

Cheers.

I have to scroll across to see the number of each thread unread.I presume this is cause by the hargreaves advert.
I find it bloody annoying,we had this problem across the other side for a short time and even they sorted that one out.
I would be a happy bunny when it is sorted here

Stable,

Comments Noted, I will make the developers aware.

Ian

I wanted to change the name of my stockwatch list but
apparently one can't do this!

midknight,

Unfortunately, you are correct - you cannot change the title of a watchlist at the moment. To get around this, you can cut and paste the epics into a new watchlist, with a new name - but I will pass your comments on to the developers to see if a change can be made.

Ian

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) are ordinary shares, but you can't get them on a stockwatch list. Can't see any good reason for this (no problem at ADVFN), but if you intend to persist with this you should make it clear somewhere that this is the case and the level of subscription at which they become accessible.

You are of course free to offer or not offer anything at any level of subscription, or none. I just think it should be quite clear what is in fact being offered.

sorry if this has been asked before but i dont have the time to read the lot.

how about a free L2 trial with maybe 3 shares of our own choice? costs a lot to susscribe and there must be many of us who are wondering if it would help but arent prepared to pay 50+ smackers a month unless we are sure its worth it.

wow......that was quick
