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.

This has been fixed.. it was quite embarrassing not to notice this myself. Thank you.

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.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
