Website design and forum functionality feedback

[Joe Blow]

the randomness is unusual and, by definition I guess, unpredictable. I can live with it, but one absolutely annoying aspect is the X to delete the ad is directly in front of the LOG OUT button. Hit the X and sometimes it doesn't disappear; hit it twice because of delay (I am an impatient person) and I'm logged out. That's on the mobile, btw.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll do some checking on my phone and see if something can be done to deal with this issue.

probably more to do with not enough bandwidth (or Android/ crappy old el cheapo Nokia 6 that I use).
((much prefer the laptop for productivity)

I only use the phone for quick checking. There's no way I'd try and compose anything other than a short post on it - I just don't have nimble enough fingers.

I still use an old school Desktop PC for most things.

Happens on modern phones android chrome here too

Firefox for Android. Dislike chrome...
Use private tab, (sorry Joe...), I don't get the ads.

I searched FAR today, ticked the title box.
It was the last result, 2nd page of 20 or so search results....
I wish tickers were the first result.... it's the tickers that tick.
Maybe we need a tickers tick box?

@Joe Blow

Is this part of the new website - Company News ???

How / Where is the news fed from for the site? I see that you have to manually put a link in the relevant stock code and it takes you here.

Hi Trav, the Company News section is just a collection of small cap press releases. Sometimes small cap companies are prepared to pay to get their story in front of investors. ASX company announcements tend to be a bit dry and don't penetrate very far, so the content is rewritten into easily digestible press releases that put recent announcements into context.

If you are a member of HC you will have noticed that they regularly send out emails that promote small cap companies. It has become increasingly popular in recent times.

I'm curious about how you're finding the search on the new software. Seems to be a little better from what I have experienced so far.

From my point of view @Joe Blow .... The search seems to be way way better .... Even without ticking the "search titles" box it seems to always find what I'm looking for ..... Hopefully others are finding the same.

No issues with the searching to date.
Much obliged.

The only thing I seem to have trouble with now is seemingly the forum icons and functions are very touch sensitive when using in the phone.
IE, trying to scroll often ends up selecting something.
I updated Firefox to a new version though as well, so it may be the issue, couldn't say ?
Haven't investigated either way though, could even be the phone...

I do like the new look, and the ease of pasting links straight into the client box/ typing area.

Cheers and apologies I never made it to the (oh no, it's beta) testing party.

Is anyone else getting their top tool bar for bold, italics, emoticons, link, images, etc, greyed out and non functional?
I am using exclusively a Samsung Galaxy TabA tablet.

I don't have a tablet, but everything is working fine for me on an Android phone using Chrome browser.

Maybe try a different browser and see if that helps.

I noted this afternoon that when you upload a .png image chart in to the box from your macosx directory it is ready to post. No need to click on small or large button otherwise it appears twice.

Ok, so I always use Chrome but now have tried Firefox and got this result, specific to Aussiestocks:

Here is what my field looks like, with the greyed out tool bar, when I post using Chrome.
Edit: I should add that this has been the case from day 1 of the new overhaul of the website.

Try clicking the cog icon (i.e. the only icon that is clickable) on the far right and let me know what happens. Thanks.
