I have added the Tab Slideshow to Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2688 and have it runnning full screen on a laptop next to my trading computer. It goes through a list of news sites every 15 seconds. What are the best news sites? I have wsj.com, bloomberg.com, ft.com, dealbreaker.com. What other sites have news and rumour quick?
I have added trade the news and marketwatch. Need to get a silent pc as the fan in the laptop is annoying.
This will do it: the serverside PHP code behind this always uses the most recent page even when you submit a URL with a pagenumber parm that is beyond the last page. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=64965&perpage=6&pagenumber=11111 Nice idea for an add-on. Is the Firefox API better than the Internet Explorer API ? Can it handle CSS for example ?
A much simpler and better way is to leave your browser's automatic refesh on the page with 15-30 secs refresing rate. This way you see the last read post, and not the newest. If there are too much posting, the slideshow would jump over through some posts...
The slideshow is set to refresh every tab every 15 seconds but it was stuck on one page, now works with the above change.

The goto=lastpost does not work. I am using "http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=64965&perpage=2&pagenumber=99999" this works.
