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

...OK, it's fixed.

Any chance of having Point & Figure for Daily and intr-day charts?

When you are in a thread, you need another button at the bottom so that you can go "back to list" without having to scroll to the top of that thread to get back to the BB

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.

Is it possible to have the trades on the trades page colour coded so that you can see at a glance whether the trades look like buys or sells? If it is could you make the entire line either red, blue or green to make it very obviuos to the idiots like me?
Thanks,
TT

Just noticed that the previous post is about colours also. Told you I was and id...

I've set up a sample portfolio and find that there are 2 little quirks on the Portfolio section:

1. The portfolio includes cash (well, 4.65). The end of day valuation of the portfolio is out by 4.65 because it is not adding the cash to the value of the shares.

2. The summary says 10 assets, value 51,502.66. (Actually, there are 11 assets, 10 shares and the 4.65.)
Then it says:
Today 51,378.32 124.34 0.2%
1 week 51,715.76 etc.

Shouldn't 'Today' read 'Yesterday' or 'One day ago'? Today's value is 51,502.66. Yesterday's value was 51,378.32, and it has increased by 124.34 today.

Some very good ideas in previous posts.

Would like to see following.

List of major shareholders.
Shares mag archives by epic.(maybe added to news section)
Company web site addresses.

Better layout of the bb's Dare I say more like ADVFN, with visited threads and created ones highlighted in various colours.
I find the bb somewhat cluttered at present.

I am finding it difficult to remember which thread titles I follow and ones I've never visited - any chance we can have some form of recognition system that makes it quick to go to threads your following, or involved in.. :@)

lesk,

I think I've seen you on the MMD thread!

Only another 6.5 hours to go!

Ashley,

I think back to when the BB's were fun and educational places to be, and to be honest we were in the bull market then. This bear market is a killer, and interest in stocks and shares is currently very low.

Some have sufferered real pain, IMHO, and that explains some of the behaviour on some threads, I think.

To be fair, AM is new, and there is surely a honeymoon period to give them time to improve the site?

Again, discussion on equities is Very low on all BB's at the moment, down to most of them falling in value I guess. I noticed a difference on iii when TAD had a good run, some old faces came out of the woodwork, number of posts noticeably rose, but have vanished now that the price has fallen back.

The cameraderie from 2 years ago just isn't around at the moment, but would return, I'm sure, if/when the market turns around again.

I agree that the Trader's Room has less posts than I would like, and hope that it will improve with time.

It's been a long night, so off home now!

Andy.

Do i take it, that i have to pay ,just to use the 'Trader's BB'..??

alecm,

Yes, to use the Traders' Room, you need to become a paid subscriber. The Traders' Room is available at all paid levels, including the 5/month one.

J.

??? is'nt that a bit strange.? surely if you were going to charge for something , then it would be 'real-time' prices, not the use of a BB..?? this BB is a dead loss at the moment, virtually un-used, (but that is down to site being new.)

Hmmm have to have a think about this now....

Dont mind paying for services, (as i do on ADVFN already,) but to pay just to use a BB..??

Think i will look again in a month or two....

alecm,

In the Traders' Room, there are regular indepth discussions on stocks and shares, and of course there is Croc's Legendary Traders Thread.

On a facilities basis, for 5 a month, you get our Alerts service, which sends emails when prices hit your criteria, Market Scan 2, and the ability to read and post onto the Traders' BB. Not a bad deal at all :)

J.

Tullettj, i already get alerts etc, free from my broker (Which go to my Mobile), i know what you are saying about the discussion, it should be of a high standard, but a high %age of the posters on there, post very similar stuff on ADVFN, but i did not need to tell you that , did i..?

IMO, to compete in a market, you need to better your oposition, and indeed i think you may well do in the long run, but at this present time, i myself cannot see the need to pay for the same thing twice...

IMO, you will have substancially more down time in the next few months than the 'other' site, this is because your site is so new , and things will appear, it is unnavoidable, indeed you were down yesterday, so at this moment in time i need the 'other' site.....

Wish you all the best.....

Alec....

P.S

You will get there, of that i am certain, wish you good luck......

Who knows, i may subscribe earlier than i think, but will just watch for now....

.

Ashley, so not all is as it seems in there then..???

What do they prefer chatting about then..?

alecm,

Actually, site site was not down yesterday, there was a glitch with streaming for a while (but the site remained up, but upon roll back to the non port80 fixed version, all was fine. It appears that some web-caches (otherwise known as transparent proxies) at companies like NTL, Blueyonder etc etc cached the downsite page, and would not refresh to get the fully functioning website.

I have put in place code to stop this happening in future as it was infuriating for us and misleading to our customers!

As for more downtime, yes, there will be more *scheduled* downtime while we put in place more services, and increase our resiliance and redundancy, but as for unscheduled downtime, I hope the team at MoneyAM have learned from all the design and setup mistakes that ADVFN made and wont repeat them here...

I guess only time will tell...

J.

ps: Scheduled downtime will always to out of market hours!
