New Site Design Launched!

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

After over 2 months of work, we have finally decided to launch our new site design. One of the big improvements of the new design is the reduction in site load. We have managed to reduce to 1/4th of the previous loading speed.

 

What do you all think? Please use this thread to discuss the new release.

 

There are still minor tweaks that needs to be finished which we will be working on the next few days.

 

Please do report any bugs or finds. Your feedbacks are comments are important to us. Thank you.

 

James, along with the reductions to the time of site load I think the site has a great new look, very professional.:applaud:

Was it always "Marketing Scientists" at the top or was it "Market Scientists"? Marketing sounds like we're good at pushing products or something.

 

Will go notify my designer. Thanks for the notice.

I like the new design, but we now have about 3 inches of fluff between each post. It's got to the point of being quite difficult to find the post on the page. If you actually want to read through a thread you have to use the print view.

 

Is there any chance of putting this stuff to the side of the posts rather than in-line where it interferes with reading the thread. Or even better have a way of hiding it. Maybe collapse the post header down to a compact form with a little [+] button. On other sites turning off avatars and sigs leaves you with a pretty easy to read format. Not so with TL.

 

I've just noticed the format of the topic review you get when composing a reply. Something like that would be great.

Hi Soultrader,

 

On the Home and Forum main pages under “Featured Forums” at the bottom, clicking Market Profile takes you to the Candlestick Corner instead.

 

Also, do you need to include the Registered/Trademark symbol for MP?

 

Excellent site design. A big Thumbs Up!

Thank you for your feedbacks. The request to minimize the space between posts have been sent. A collapsible format including the header would be rather difficult.

Thanks ochie, the errors have been fixed and trademark removed for now. However, I am not sure if it needs to be included so may need to add this later again.

Twice this morning I've noticed that when I post I go back to the page but it doesnt show my post. If I press F5 it does.

 

Now, I'm running firefox 3.7alpha so I couldn't guarantee its a site problem.

Hi Kiwi,

 

I noticed this too on firefox and with other sites as well. I havent seen this problem in any other browser as of yet. I suspecting its a firefox issue but am having my coders look into this. Thanks.

Just tested with Chrome 4.0.204 (a bit bleeding edge as well) and had the same issue.

 

Actually James. Something that is a feature here is a negative from my view. When I log on again (i use the getnew function: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew) then pages I just exited don't show which makes it hard to get back to them (harder).

 

Is there a search function that picks up the last 24 or 36 hours showing threads since last search above some line? I guess I can just use the front page if not.

 

Also, I don't seem to be able to delete a post I've just left so the test post is still there. Deletion so that only mods can see what was left behind seems to me to be a function that results in tidier threads.

Hi Kiwi,

 

I have reported this to our coders. Its clearly a bug we left out and need to implement.

 

Regarding the browser issue, I will look into this asap. Thanks.

Not sure if this has been reported yet, but I noticed that the "Views" count for a particular thread has stopped updating.

 

Hi Ant, thank you for the notification. I have reported this bug to my coder as well. We currently have a list of about 15 bugs that we are fixing in order. Im hoping to get all these resolved within the next few days. Thanks.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet or not, but whenever a page loads with that "FXopen" advertisement, my CPU spikes and my machine runs slow, and I am unable to scroll down a page and read the forum. It only happens when that advertisment is displayed.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

Just tried it again - cpu usage measures between 0-4% and whenever I load a TL page with an FXOpen ad, cpu usage spikes and hovers between 88-98%. This is on repeated tests. The second I close the TL window, cpu usage immediately drops to normal and safe levels.

 

I guess I'll be off TL until those ads are changed.

 

Best Wishes,

Hi Thales,

 

I am temporary halting those ads and looking into this issue. Thanks.

    • In Italy, I saw many of our brothers from different parts of Africa, sleeping and living in the park, the weather was very cold and its obvious that they were looked down upon. It made me want to cry and several questions overwhelmed my heart.   Is it not better to remain in Africa than to be homeless in this freezing cold weather?   I wish I have all the money in the world to rescue them...   Is this the reason why our skin color is looked down upon?   Do our government officials see this sight when they also travel outside of the country...does it hurt them or pain them like it pained me?

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
