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

Because of the connection with Shares magazine, I am expecting to see more input to the site from their journalists. That is something which will make this site different from others.

Now I may have an out of date opinion here, as I haven't read the magazine for ages, but I did read it for about a year, until I gave up because it was.. well, crap, basically. The big problem for me was the number of huge, glaring inaccuracies in articles and news pieces - and, no I can't remember the specific details, though I do remember one that confused Viagra with a completely different drug, and another that talked about CFDs and it was apparent that the writer had no idea what they were (LATER: I remembered - the writer confused CFDs and non-residual shares - and no, I'm not making this up)

And this is the quality of input that is going to set this site apart?

Of course it may have improved out of all recognition since, but I await the content provided by the Shares contributors with a degree of scepticism.

Hi all, just got back in...

Ash, i am not arguing, just discussing, nothing wrong with that is there..?? regardless of the cost, whether 5 or 50, my point is the same....why pay for something you cannot see or sample..?? Surely you would not buy anything from a shop without looking into it, or trying it out..?? Would you buy a car without driving it first..?


TullettJ (MoneyAM) Phheew, that's ok then, dont want to get barred even before i sign up....lol lol

Let me make one thing clear, there is NOTHING wrong with your system , as i already have said, i think it will be the better of the three options so far, but cannot comment on the Fourth (if it arrives..) i know one of the people building it, and they are very particular, and money wont be the problem, but that is another story....As i say, this should be the best of the three we have, IMO, it is only time before the 'idiots' get the better of ADVFN....

I'd like the ability to vote bear or bull on a company as can be done on quite a number of sites and a record be kept of overall opinion. There are certainly a few that I would vote against.

I need a realy good streaming chart 5 min ukx with MA.
I have check out your charts tonight but cannot get the ma on intraday. I am currently on the other side , but would change to moneyam for good reliable charts.

well done so far.

posting this again as the flaw still exists :

felix

i have discovered a flaw in the display of prices (bid and offer). Like advfn you have 3 colours for the price display (bid and offer). Red to show its gone down from previous price. Green to show no change and Blue to show its risen from the previous price. Problem with MoneyAM's price display that it gets reset to green every time the page is refreshed, say clicking on "N" for stock and then going back to your stockwatch, the bid and offer prices all return to the colour Green. Advfn doesnt do this and 'remembers' the colours so you know whether the bid/offer prices are rising/fallling/unchanged.

Why do i keep getting logged off..????

Some things I would like:
1) Russell 2000
2) daily puts and calls totals, which I can't seem to find anywhere online, not even LIFFE itself
3) UKX in the Stockwatch
4) full listing of ETF's
5) covered warrants listed by EPIC, not SEDOL. Take a look at Comdirect's coverage. I would like to compile a watchlist for CWs like I've got in The Other Place
6) in the UKX chart there is a 'specify period' function which I can't get to work. I type in a spread of dates but get the intraday chart or something.
7) there is no number 7. Yet.
Here's looking forward. All the best.

alecm,

Do you have cookies enabled?

J.

I get logged off around 5-6 times a day and I have cookies enabled...

I get logged off a couple of times a day.

On charts, 'specify period' does work -you select this and then enter
your own dates in the 'from' and 'to' boxes. The dates have to be in
the same format as the auto-generated ones - if the system can't make
sense of the date, it will just give you a year's worth of data
by default.
Hope this helps
Felix

Kayak,

I know why this happens!

I am speaking with Ian about how we can work around it..

J.

Kayak, Haystack,

This problem is caused by browsers that allow completely seperate instances of them to be run, and when you kick off another instance.

There are two ways to start off internet explorer (which I am using in this description):
You click on the icon/button/entry in the program list, and to use CTRL-N on an existing window.

When using CTRL-N, it have access to the same memory pool, as it seems to be a child process of the original. In this case, if you have logged into MoneyAM in the parent, then you will also be logged in to MoneyAM in the child window.

If you have a window open, and you log in, and then click on the 'E' icon on the desktop and go to MoneyAM, you will no be logged in. This is due to it using a seperate memory pool and therefor not knowing anything about the session cookies available to the other version.

Did this make sense?

Bascially, to stop it appearing that you are logged out, only use 'CTRL-N' to start a new window after your initial one starts.

This isnt a bug with the site, but we are looking into other ways that we can get round this limitation...

J.

Our problem is different I think, or at least mine is. I am happily logged in, with the page showing the thread index. I press refresh to find I have been logged out in the mean time. As it happens I am using ctrl-N to create windows anyway.

Kayak,

Bum.

Grr.

will forward to IST... :/

J.

I'm having exactly the same problem as Kayak - I refresh the page and find that I have been logged off. I have MoneyAM in a browser window created using Ctrl-N, as well.

Yeah, my problem is different too. Several instances of IE running, including 2 used to access AM - 1 running streaming monitor, 1 I use to access various BBs (going round the houses of Hemscott, CityBull, the 2 AdvFN boards a few times before coming back to here). Many many times when I come back I've been logged out, despite using the same instance to browse.

It's very very very annoying. I used to have the same problem with FinanceBB, another semi-moribund BB, but they eventually fixed it.

I also only use Ctrl-N to generate new windows.

why cant i get american stock charts, and why are there no futures charts

To know how many other posts there are to read at the bottom of the current page of messages (ala advfn of course).
