no, its not "the same number of steps".

Posted by: islander (a.k.a del_USA_islander) on Aug 19, 10:47 in response to Antibody's post That is the new 'permanent' broker box. This Next Gen...

look, im not trying to be a jerk, and really, the trader box isnt that big an issue for me, but someone needs to disagree with you when you are wrong.

in classic, if i wanted to buy a stock i didnt have, and i was in my port, all i had to do in firefox was type the symbol in a box that was always there and hit enter, voila, max share bought.

now, its either go to the stocks security page and trade from there, which isnt really all that bad to do, but really it only serves to take the player out of their port and into a new page so it builds pageviews, which i assume is desired for ad revenue

or use the dropdown trader box which god forbid i move my mouse and the box disappears, type in symbol, and quantity, and buy

so dont say its same number of steps when it isnt:

classic= stay in port, type symbol, enter, back, done

new= roll over navbar,keep a steady hand, type symbol, type quantity, click buy, back, page reloads, done

5 seconds versus 20 seconds.

but really, this isnt the worst issue. there are so many annoyances. there seems to be, perhaps unintentionally, a dismissive attitude in some of your responses. it seems hsx is trying to shoehorn players into a system they dont really want. obviously traffic is down, players are bothered. we dont want hsx to go away, so we are trying to help. but either you listen or you dont, either we come around or we dont. it will be interesting to see how this plays out Smile

Can you please, please, please bring back the broker box? Please!! End our misery, please!! verisimilitudinous Aug 17, 20:07

The Broker Box is on the navbar under My Portfolio. {nm} Antibody Aug 18, 14:18

That Broker Box doesn't stick well in Firefox. It sticks fine in Explorer I think. Could we get max as a default and could the buttons just Catzan Aug 18, 14:59

The navbar Broker Box doesn't have a pulldown for Buy, Sell, Short, Cover. Only for Time, which defaults to Day which executes right away. {nm} Antibody Aug 18, 15:42

Well, right you are. I rarely use it cause of the stickiness in Firefox. Heck, if that could default to Max for the amount, that would be Catzan Aug 18, 16:56

I still haven't seen HSX staff address the default "max" issue. Such an easy fix, and people are screaming for it {nm} remrej Aug 18, 19:20

Wait! There is a feature where I can SCREAM?!? Now that is a cool feature in new HSX, if only you could "hear" my actual scream. Now that, Catzan Aug 19, 11:05

you know full well that some players want the 'permanent' broker box that was on the classic port page. Maybe you need a response such as islander Aug 18, 18:05

That is the new 'permanent' broker box. This Next Gen site was built from scratch, nothing is exactly like the classic site. Antibody Aug 19, 10:14

You're defending a broker box that is the worst broker box ever... grory Aug 19, 10:31

ah, i posted mine before reading yours :) {nm} islander Aug 19, 10:50

no, its not "the same number of steps". islander Aug 19, 10:47

We have a better Search box now. Antibody Aug 19, 11:10

Even if we have an 'old" box om the port page, the new Port page will still reload everytime you go back. {nm} Antibody Aug 19, 11:14

ah sorry. the search method does seem to work very well. islander Aug 19, 11:35

Yes, making the broker box sticky is something on the to do list. {nm} Antibody Aug 19, 11:42

I made the same suggestion you did, to make it more sticky with an "x" button, but that doesn't solve much. grory Aug 19, 12:22

Then put it on other pages, too, giving us the option of using it in another window on a page that's quicker to load... grory Aug 19, 12:15

All the securities on the movers pages have their own trade widget. All listing page will also reload when you go back, so a box Antibody Aug 19, 12:36

It doesn't matter what I'm used to, I've already adapted. It's more a matter of what's the best broker box for the game, for everyone's use. grory Aug 19, 13:54

Thanks. I think most of us agree that the improvements made are pretty cool. The search is better, the suitcases are sweet, the lab is nicer Catzan Aug 19, 11:19

You are not listening at all. Antibody, please tell me something. Where am I getting the ticker symbol???? verisimilitudinous Aug 19, 15:05

This is why I would like it back, HSX, just to be clear... verisimilitudinous Aug 19, 14:09

Come on, Antibody, you know exactly what I am talking about. Would it really be so hard to bring it back? It was extremely useful. {nm} verisimilitudinous Aug 18, 19:51

There's an elephant in this room. {nm} edzep Aug 18, 20:24

Yes, please MAX by default {nm} The Claw Aug 19, 06:50
