Updates to the editor toolbar, to drastically reduce the number of confusing icons.



With the updates I've been making to the site, these buttons simply aren't necessary any longer. The system should automatically figure out what you are wanting to do.

Spent the morning optimizing some thread caching routines. Found a couple of areas for huge improvements, like 100x over increase after I applied some techniques I've learned to old routines.

End result, thread display should be significantly faster. I've noticed most threads are loading 40-50% faster, for example in 90ms vs 140ms.

Speaking of milliseconds, I've modified the footer of the site to display page load time in milliseconds instead of seconds.

LOL, all of my spare time this week has been devoted to learning some new Cryptocurrencies. The things these new tokens are coming up with in DeFi and the blockchain are just amazing. Far more interesting than Silver.

How did you do this morning trading it?

How confident can you be on some of these new DeFi opportunities without personally auditing the code? That's what really scares me about DeFi and has kept me away.

The day was good. Silver spreads don't trade enough so difficult to make it a really good day, So lots of odd lots when in NG or CL it would have been 100s of spreads. Can't complain though. HK had a 50c range, KN a 30c range, NU 17c range and UZ a 20c range. Pretty crazy for a commodity that has a hard storage cap on spread values!

Cleaning up another item:



You still zoom the image like normal, but this outdated "warning" is no longer useful and it has been removed.

If you are still seeing it, you'll have to wait for your javascript css cache to expire (up-to 7 days), or you can force it right now by doing a Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + (reload icon) in your browser.

@Trembling Hand

So what you can do as a workaround for the moment is the following:


[url="https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ACSIL_Members_Functions.html#scAlertWithMessage"]my url with fragment[/url]


When you mark it up this way, it maintains the URL fragment in the href.

Mike

Ok so just testing now that the url button has been removed.

If anyone has a suggestion on a better visual icon to represent 'thread starter' or 'original poster' than the microphone, let me know. Open to suggestions.

I'm also still working on the other suggestions.

Mike

On the Thread Starter question, currently this only shows if the person starting the thread is an Elite member. Non-Elite members may start a thread, but they are not designated that way.

I was reading a trade journal this morning, and I couldn't remember if someone who made the post I was reading was the person whose journal it was. I had to go back to the first page to check that.

There may be reasons to not have the other icons for non-Elite users, but I think that marking the "Thread Starter," whether Elite of not, would add clarity and would be useful.

Agreed, that is an oversight that needs to be fixed.

Made a change to prevent new post subscription emails for going out for the "Introduce yourself" thread.

The reasoning being that each new post triggers thousands of emails, and it can be overwhelming -- especially for new members.

I have a suspicion that we actually lose a lot of good potential members here because they end up getting "spammed" with introduce yourself emails, and perhaps they hit the Unsubscribe button and accept the links -- which is to remove all emails of any kind going forward (so they never hear from us again).

Another possibility is that they simply mark the whole range of "introduce yourself" emails as spam in their email software, which automatically triggers an unsubscription on our side from all emails as well.

If any of you are subscribed and currently receiving emails to that thread, would you please kindly tell me whether or not you have stopped getting them as of now (going forward from this post).

Mike

I noticed this morning that my change is only working for instant thread subscriptions. Members that have daily or weekly subscriptions are still receiving updates for the Introduce yourself thread.

Made a change, will monitor.
