evidently someone is in love with his SA layout and thought these 'improvements' would be welcomed by all...

i hate it and wonder what you guys were thinking?  was anyone pushing for a new look?  common sense would AT LEAST have you give us an option to try out the new layout but always having the old one available.

this is financial information...data and news that help us make decisions on our investments...this isn't a video game or kids sight...(although it seems they are more capable of finding out FIRST what their users prefer)

whoever 'conned' management into thinking this was better and everyone would just be so thrilled...needs to get real...

this is crappy...without warning...right in the middle of a market crisis...are you guys nuts?

The web developer is going to post another response that just doesn't listen to the concern and defends the change.  And then he will mark it completed and answer, which stops us from downvoting him.

Hi,

Please share the issues you're facing with the new layout. We have attempted to enable new features with the new portfolio page while keeping everything you Liked about the old portfolio.
I will try to assist you if you're getting stuck somewhere or if you want a quicker way to do something.

For example, you can click on 'view headlines' on the far right of the portfolio page, to fast scroll down to news and analysis pertaining yo your portfolio.

just go back to the previous...

i would go to SA and all my stocks is right there listed...i want more info on a stock, i click it and there's my info.

now, i go to SA and i get huge fonts that doesn't fit the layout quite right...each watchlist is now separate and i have to open each one...what happened to the all portfolios display?

maybe there's a way...i'll give you the benefit of the doubt but its not obvious

like i said, it just makes common sense to view your audience as people rather than guinea pigs

this was not thought out very well...disagree with me?


then how come most of the comments are negative?


if you want to experiment, fine...but we're not lab rats so AT LEAST provide an option so if we don't like it we can go back to our comfort zone...

If you sort by clicking on a column, it stays sorted,  but page jumps down after about 5-7 seconds, unless you hold the slider bar with your mouse.  I have 75 stocks in my portfolio and use the sort feature to see which stock is on top.  Quite annoying to have to hold the slider bar after each sort.

After working with the new portfolio page for a few days, I do not prefer it over the old.  The few positive features are outweighed by the numerous negative ones.  Ergonomically, the new portfolio page is much worse than the old one.  Almost every thing now requires more clicks to accomplish the same task.  Good programming is reducing clicks not increases them.

The old format was great.  I could see all holdings on all portfolios on one screen.  That's the most important thing.  Please  go back to the old platform.

There are too many clicks. I want to see, at a glance, portfolio and news. This, to me, was a fundamental beauty of the SA portfolio view. Now its as bad as everybody elses.

The issue we are having is that the new format totally sucks and we want the old format back.

don't think they care at all - F5 refuse to load the page again.. need to press the "my portfolio" to reload the page. A page that does not update by itself anymore.. A page that is so badly designed and so fucking slow.

This change suck so much that one need to go back to Yahoo. OMG

Hi fhbecker,

"f you sort by clicking on a column, it stays sorted, but page jumps down after about 5-7 seconds"

Thank you for highlighting this, I have escalated this issue to out technology team and we're currently investigating the issue. I'll share an update once we have a resolution.


I've also reported issues related to slowness and we should be able to fix it soon.
