I do feel sorry for d.mac, this has got to be embarassing -- nm - dogbert183 Oct 21, 15:19 7

Don't see any league page either. -- nm - BAD Oct 21, 15:14 1

    - I have the fund you run shorted...and have made 10k -- nm - RazorHawk Oct 21, 15:10
  - uh my fund is still up just the way I left it. If they were taking it away they would have destroyed my stocks. -- nm - Stacy Oct 21, 15:04 4
    - My fund is empty of the shares I owned/shorted -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 21, 15:06 3

Okay, this is no fun - Top Schmoozers Today's Featured Trader: Antibody H$ From Schmoozing: H$476,000 -- nm - Roger More Oct 21, 14:56 4
- does that money get added to your port or is it seperate? -- nm - J Oct 21, 15:05 3
  - It gets added to your port - when you open your port there is even a section "$H earned by schmoozing" -- nm - Roger More Oct 21, 15:14 1
    - cool, thanks -- nm - J Oct 21, 15:19
  - added to your post -- nm - RazorHawk Oct 21, 15:13
I'd like to be constructive. I'd like to compile a list of things we feel need to be "fixed". But I really can't bring myself to post on those forums. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:56 9
- "Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new web site design sucks." -- nm - BB Oct 21, 15:04
- "Every single change you made was a move in the wrong direction." - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 21, 15:01 1
  - This is all about change. -- nm - President Obama Oct 21, 15:04
- I think we should compile a list, but I think we need at least until tomorrow to calm down and evaluate it. - ty97 Oct 21, 15:01 1
  - I agree with tycumber. -- nm - Krusty Oct 21, 15:03
- the thing is, it's not a list of bugs. The whole thing needs a redesign, and that won't happen. - loosilu Oct 21, 14:57 3
  - This is the new design, love it or hate it. The best feedback we can provide is how to improve the site within the constraints of this overall desig - ty97 Oct 21, 15:07 1
    - Do you really think they care about saving the game? - CovingtonCat Oct 21, 15:20
  - "Bug Reports and Other Issues" - Mr. Havens Oct 21, 14:59
Yahoo's gonna need to buy itself a huge pair of "No Regrets" jeans. -- (link) - Mop Oct 21, 14:55
I'm really leave now. Have a great night everyone! -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:53 3
- Bye! -- nm - TaurusII Oct 21, 14:56
- And thanks Bery! -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:54 1
  - you're welcome :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:54
"So you don't even have to be a hardcore trader to be on Hollywood Stock Exchange. - CovingtonCat Oct 21, 14:53
I'm about to hit enter and log into my port...but i'm scared the new look hsx will send me packing :( *click* here goes... -- nm - Random Enigma Oct 21, 14:52
I liked how the old quick trader auto-filled boxes and had submit buttons. - Mop Oct 21, 14:52 3
- Yup. Such a nice feature. At first I sat there waiting for it to fill in the boxes. - Krusty Oct 21, 15:01
- It took them years to get that functionality in place, though, IIRC -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:53 1
  - I bitched about it when they disabled the "-max" feature, and they restored it. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:54
*Laughing* Looks like Yahoo rolled out a beta version and most people aren't happy with it either...... -- (link) - CrankYanker Oct 21, 14:51 3
- Heh, gotta love all the sheep companies putting social networking everywhere they can. - celedhrymandias Oct 21, 14:53 2
  - Most of us don�t want your idea of �social networking�. You killed a good feature and replaced it with crap!! - CrankYanker Oct 21, 14:55
  - Reminds me of the portal wars, they never learn.... -- nm - Scorpion Oct 21, 14:55
I can't believe the portfolio page doesn't show you today's change for the stocks. - pmb Oct 21, 14:50 5
- Yeah, that's probably a deal breaker for me. n.m. - glory Oct 21, 15:03
- I cant believe you have to scroll all the way to the right to get to the buy/sell button, let alone not see your whole port on one page. nm - Jovian Oct 21, 14:51 2
  - No horizontal scrolling for me. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:53 1
    - same here, nothing -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 21, 14:56
- well, that might just be a result of the 'upgrade'; they might only have movement history for today -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:51
Just a note: a spam bot tried signing up here again. If they get through the defenses, they might be able to flood the board with posts. - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:49 6
- The machines have found Zion! -- nm - Loyola Oct 21, 14:52 1
  - +3 Qale Points -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 18:09
- *Nice site. Thank you for letting me join. Now check out BigFootlovers.com" -- nm - Idaho Spam Bot Oct 21, 14:51 2
  - Just a note: BigFootlovers.com is completely different from BigfootLovers.com -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:52 1
    - *blink* why am I not surprised you know this. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 14:53
- what is spam bots problem anyway? nm - Jovian Oct 21, 14:50
I've clicked on portfolio, and my portfolio from the drop down menu and still I can't see what's in my portfolio wtf. -- nm - Loyola Oct 21, 14:49 1
- It takes a while to load the current tab, even if it's empty. -- nm - TaurusII Oct 21, 14:54
Damn, it sucks to quite HSX just shy of 1B... but I just can't see my eyeballs and sanity surviving it. -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 21, 14:48
David, about Terminator last night... - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 21, 14:46 2
- Yeah, I mentioned this below. She's liquid metal. -- nm - David Oct 21, 14:47 1
  - I'm just annoyed that I may need to watch Razor again. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 21, 14:56
I just want to say thanks again Bery, cause this would really have been the end if it wasnt for here. nm - Jovian Oct 21, 14:46 2
- couldn't agree more -- nm - dogbert183 Oct 21, 14:48
- Yes. Thank you so much! -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:46
I would be in my Port several times a day...... I don't even want to click anything the way it is now. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 21, 14:45
I do have a good think to say, I can now edit my posts! -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:45
CHICK's IPO isn't even on the calendar?! - TFox Oct 21, 14:45
btw not HSX-related: Just got the woot newsletter & woot-off tonight {nm} - Banzai! Oct 21, 14:44 2
- how far in advance are random shirt.woots known? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:46 1
  - Probably not really at all. Woot-offs aren't generally announced in advance. And the newsletter seems to be quarterly, at best. {nm} - Banzai! Oct 21, 14:48
Stars is a gossip forum and no longer about bonds? -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:42 2
- It looks like the whole damn site has been reoriented around the gossip machine. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:43 1
  - the first thing i saw was a headline about Brit's DL case. she's not even an actress. go figure -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 21, 14:45
nice job Trish! and I know it's not just because it's your birthday. - CrankYanker Oct 21, 14:42 3
- *blush* thanks -- nm - Trish Oct 21, 14:47 2
  - but she falls on the wrong side of the Pot Pie debate. so that clearly means she's wrong all the time. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 14:49 1
    - You, sir, are a heretic to the No Food Touching hegemony. - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 15:19
Isnt the topics of the forum post being part of the URL going to run into trouble? -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:42
Going to Yoga, bye! -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:41 1
- I lied. -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:46
Gwaa... i figured out the www thing - but thats web 101. i can't believe they haven't set up their ISS properly -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 21, 14:40 3
- i know it is, but so many people were asking :) -- nm - Gwaahjo Oct 21, 14:46
- according to uptime.netcraft.com, they've upgraded from Solaris 8 to Linux/CentOS -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:41
- IIS, i mean -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 21, 14:40
I have a blog. I haven't even updated my dogs blogs in a few years. What makes them think I'm going give them blog content for free! -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:40 5
- L3 you blog for money? -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 14:41 4
  - I would. If it would get me out of this job now. -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:45 3
    - Sure, I would too. I would also eat cheeseburgers for money, or ride Ferris wheels for money. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 14:46 2
      - If they would be making compesation off of my content then I would like some too. -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:51
      - A lot of this looks like taking the info and selling it to research groups. Also selling to the promote movies and what not. -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:47
I bet they miss the first "daily HSX minute" (which is actually weekly...wtf?) after the second episode. {nm} - Banzai! Oct 21, 14:40 3
- Heh, I had the same thought when she said "every Monday". -- nm - David Oct 21, 14:41
- It's five different people hosting a minute-long show, once per day Mon-Fri -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 21, 14:40 1
  - Ohhh....thanks for clarifying. Then my guess is they'll miss daily updates starting next Tuesday. - Banzai! Oct 21, 14:43
Oh, it's the BSG: Razor chick. Now, it all makes sense. - David Oct 21, 14:39
1 good (yes, good) and 1 bad thing about the quicktrader. - ty97 Oct 21, 14:39 2
- They didn't have 50k before either, but that is hilarious that they didn't even tweak that. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 14:40
- the orangey buttons seem to be spaced wrong, I think it's messing up the trader box in FF3 -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:39
Every new person that sets up a profile needs to be contacted and welcomed/brought to SlackerTalk so that maybe HSX can see that it will lose players - Loyola Oct 21, 14:38 4
- Well, c'mon, they aren't going to need us actively campaigning against them to lose players. - TFox Oct 21, 14:39
- I'd prefer that we didn't do this. Besides, there's no game here :) - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:39 1
  - I got game! -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 21, 14:40
- Oh please no. That might bring the wrong people! -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:38
Movie Mogul is a gut-check mini-game? That's not at all what I thought it was. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:37
Happy birthday Red Monkey Leader. So this uhh make you - Red Monkey One Oct 21, 14:36 1
- Forever 29! - Trish Oct 21, 14:49
/= They say I'm seeking out the danger, that one day you won't let me go. (I'll drown, you'll take me down.) =/ - TaurusII Oct 21, 14:35
David, I wasn't even referring to QA ... that comes at the end of development. I was talking about usability testing, which comes at the beginning. - loosilu Oct 21, 14:35 2
- If properly run, QA should occur during the entirety of the life cycle. It's unfortunate that's not the case here. - David Oct 21, 14:38 1
  - well, we may be saying the same thing with different names. I think we agree overall. this piece of crap - loosilu Oct 21, 14:41
Finally got the login to work. Are they fucking kidding? This whole things sucks. -- nm - not2fast Oct 21, 14:35
I'm really questioning my desire to run hsxworld now after seeing the new site. I have a hard time imagining it continuing to be popular -- nm - kilboooo Oct 21, 14:35 5
- Sorry, but that was what I thought you might feel. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 15:19
- With the proliferation of virtual markets out there, I doubt HSX was very popular at all any more. - Mop Oct 21, 14:40
- I'm sure as hell not going to rewrite the Dr Tron parser. It would just suck with the new interface. They can make their own damn post search tool -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:36
- I can't imagine I'd feel like making the effort to integrate with this. Unless you could make a Classic Port view, with sorting tools? - TFox Oct 21, 14:36 1
  - oooohhhhh, bery and kilbo, get on it! -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 14:41
I understand the forum change if they changed to using Drupal but damn, they destroyed the basics of the game -- nm - kilboooo Oct 21, 14:34 11
- This is like companies that changed their business model from coal mining to "the Internet" back in the 90s. - Banzai! Oct 21, 14:41
- I understand the forums changes. The portfolio changes need to be reconsidered fast though. -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 14:40
- Maybe they figured the now-casual old school players were a lost cause and decided to skew a different demo - Mr. Havens Oct 21, 14:39 3
  - agreed. its cheesy Disney crap -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 21, 14:51
  - rgardless, the portfolio page has major issues for anyone who ever planes to own more than a handful of stocks. - ty97 Oct 21, 14:40 1
    - Yes, I like having my entire port visible too -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 21, 14:43
- It's as if the portfolio and game play is an afterthought. - glory Oct 21, 14:36 1
  - Seriously that seems to be the case. It's aimed now at people using the $'s for meaningless crap rather than competing in the game. Consequently the - pmb Oct 21, 14:40
- yep, I wasnt expecting this regarding the ports. I was ready for the Forums to be crap, but not the gameplay/portfolio elements. nm - Jovian Oct 21, 14:36 1
  - I'm starting to feel like I didn't scream enough during Beta. This was my #1 disappointment at the time. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 14:38
- They totally steamrolled the portfolio interface. I was expecting it to be *improved*, not to regress to pre-historic suckage. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:34
