LOL Slim ... why don't you just fuck off back to the slimy little hole you crawled out of. :eek: PS. And for the prissy mamma's boys who object to the direct language, you can fuck off too
Do you like reading emails all day? I know I certainly don't. Imagine if the election process worked by sending a letter to some governing body who would have to read why you think so and so candidate should be president. Then draw a consensus from all the letters read. Not very efficient is it? Now imagine if candidate so and so lays out their proposal and you get a chance to say yeah or nay? A bit more efficient isn't it? Now imagine if you get to vote on each of this candidate's proposals...
If anyones interested, a bunch of new suggestions have appeared. Some are quite good so I've voted for my favourites. Cheers.
Hey, I just checked the TWS Poll, and many of my suggestions I had posted got mangled. For example, Code: 1095 Username: fleance "charting. [url]http://fleance.fastmail.fm/tws_feedback.html#cha[/url] ts-cache" This showed up fine earlier and people had voted on it, but now all the text has been deleted. I don't have the exact text I posted, but here is what I have posted on my TWS Feedback webpage (http://fleance.fastmail.fm/tws_feedback.html) Code: Charts: Need To cache data To improve responsiveness The biggest problem with the charts is that none of the chart data is cached. I have two charts with time periods of 2 hour and 3 month. I have the "refresh chart when a new contract is selected" toggle turned on for both charts. I often click back and forth between various contracts, and I can see TWS is reloading the data from scratch each time. I have to wait 2-3 seconds, sometimes more, for the chart to load. Recommendation: TWS should cache the chart data, and then keep it up-to-date through the data subscriptions, so that switching back to a previoius chart is instantaneous! TWS needs to take advantage of user's desktop resources; My desktop has 2 GB of memory, and I would add more if it would help. Caching chart data so that reloading a chart happens instantly would really improve user's impression of TWS charting. [url]http://fleance.fastmail.fm/tws_feedback.html#charts-cache[/url]
The two suggestions I posted yesterday are also truncated. Code: 1148 Username: fleance server. [url]http://fleance.fastmail.fm/tws_feedback.html#save-[/url] ettings-online Here is what I posted: Code: TWS standalone should store your settings online, so you can get the same settings on any computer in the world, without fooling around with synchronization programs. I run TWS on three different machines, a laptop, a desktop at home, and a desktop at my office, and I have wasted countless hours trying to keep my settings synced up between all the machines. Also, when travelling, I occasionally use the TWS applet, which has it's own setttings. TWS settings, no matter standalone or applet, should all be stored in one place on IB's server. [url]http://fleance.fastmail.fm/tws_feedback.html#save-settings-online[/url] Code: 1149 Username: fleance details. [url]http://fleance.fastmail.fm/tws_feedback.html#posi[/url] ion-windows Here is what I posted: Code: UI: TWS should postion all dialogs and popup windows to avoid overlapping the windows taskbar. I have my Windows taskbar at the top of the screen. Whenever TWS pops up a new or temporary dialog, it is always dispalyed under my taskbar. This forces me to resize my taskbar temporarily in order to make the title bar of the new dialog visible so I can drag it lower. Sun added a Window Centering API in JDK 1.4 which IB should use to fix this problem. Follow the link for details. [url]http://fleance.fastmail.fm/tws_feedback.html#position-windows[/url] I'm not sure why only my entries appear to be truncated? I though it was related to the fact I included a URL and maybe it choked, but other entires have URL and they don't look truncated. Also my #1097 "Charts should maintain a constant spacing and candlestick width, and allow the time period to auto adjust to fill the chart canvas." contains a URL,and that wasn't truncated. Anyway, IB can you please fix these up? Thanks http://fleance.fastmail.fm/tws_feedback.html
Truncated: Code: 1101 Username: fleance annoying!

I have to click the toggle again to hide them. Very annoying! [url]http://fleance.fastmail.fm/tws_feedback.html#charts-minimize-resets-toggle[/url] Truncated: Code: 1100 Username: fleance back."

I have to reclick on the row with the mouse before I can move the cursor again. Very annoying!

When I restart TWS, I find I have to reset these again. [url]http://fleance.fastmail.fm/tws_feedback.html#charts-toggles[/url] All of these I saw yesterday and they posted fine, but today they all are truncated.. What's up IB? Seems like every item I posted except #1097 got truncated.
It is 84 suggestions in total (before the first round of review). However I noticed 5 suggestions are being deleted. I have no clue why these suggestions are deleted instead of declined, so only 79 are left. The 2 implementation are not really something. The first one is to raise the limit from 150 characters to 1000 characters. Effortless. The second is not really an implementation. The request simply suggests IB taking priority of fixing existing bugs over implementing new features. IB "implemented" it. So it is actually 1 being scheduled, 2 implementation in progress. 3 suggestions are declined, but it should be 2 only. I think the reason why #1071 is declined because it is a duplication of #1035 (this one is being accepted), so #1071 is not actually declined. Acceptance Rate = (2+1) / (84-1-2) = 3 / 81 = 3.70% Note: 1 is deducted from 84 is to take the declined suggestion of #1071 into account. 2 is deducted from 84 is to remove the two non-feature implementations out of the total sample size. Decline Rate = 2 / 81 = 2.46% Deletion Rate = 5 / 81 = 6.17%
The only email I found is help@interactivebrokers.com on the website. How could you find these emails?
fleance, You are not alone. I see there are other posts which appears to be truncated. I think the messages are truncated on purpose. It appears posts which have links tend to be very short after first round of review. IB may think that since you have included the contents in another page, you shouldn't repeat in the poll page. That's why they condensed your post. Note: It's just an informed guess. I may be wrong.
