Got some good news today.

You guys know how hard I've been working on site improvements in the last few months. Today, I saw some of the very hard work pay off with Google. They are now indexing 200k additional URL's that were previously not indexed for various reasons. I've solved those issues and we should see a relative percentage increase in Google traffic, now that we are indexing 50% more pages.

Mike

Nice

Maybe ray dalio finally finds his way here. Been waiting...


Then again, we got our own wizards here on FIO.

Tried uploading a Market Replay file twice, both times I got garbage back. Meaning, I just get a blank page with garbled characters such as

A suggestion on the expanded url links.

Right now, if someone adds a link in a post to another post within FIO they get something like this:



This is working fine and adds something to the user experience, so it's a good thing.

But every time I see one of the expanded links, I wonder if someone who is not familiar with them really understands that they are actually links that can be clicked like any regular, non-expanded link. They actually don't look like conventional links, but just like graphics that don't necessarily lead anywhere, unlike a standard url, which everyone is familiar with.

I am admittedly not the most social media-aware person (I hate almost all of it, to be honest ), but this style of link was not familiar to me until I saw it here. I've come to like it, but it still doesn't look like a link to me.

So my suggestion is to just add the url to the expanded link graphic, so it's clear that this is actually a link.

In the above graphic, this would just mean that the (clickable) text string "https://nexusfi.com/feedback-announcements/2497-futures-io-site-changelog.html" could appear, perhaps at the bottom or just after the other text. It would then be more clear what is intended.

I think this would help with usability, and it couldn't hurt.

Bob.

I don't know whether this is browser specific but with Firefox, when I hover on that expanded link graphic, the border changes into a blue one and there's a tooltip that tells you "Click to view".

I've added a video to show the effect on Firefox.


I appreciate - again, at least on Firefox - the effect change is quite subtle - perhaps the border can be made to light up into a more vibrant color?

Big Mike is a subtle kind of guy

It definitely works as it is though:

Resolving a problem with our email queue today. Currently over 30k emails are delayed, apologies.

Edit: The queue is now unwinding, will take about 45 minutes.

Hi Mike,

FYI, I clicked on the View Results button on the current poll, and instead of the usual bar chart display I got this on a web page:
