The Question and Answer Board

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

Matt , can we have our old quote boxes back

In a word, no.

There are a number of reasons for this:

1. Our parent company is in the business of providing this kind of data and information and it's a huge part of why we agreed to be acquired by them.

2. These cost us nothing. The QuoteMedia equivalent was getting very expensive.

3. Though you obviously disagree, in my opinion this is a superior product.

4. Very soon we're going to have seamless integration of realtime capability. Actually, that capability exists right now, whereby you can buy the ADVFN Silver US package and have the new Quotes page and the Mini-Quotes that show up in boards become realtime, but we haven't incoporated the upgrade path into the site yet. That's coming very soon.

I know there's going to be a lot of backlash and people complaining that this is simply the worst thing that we've ever done, but a lot of that is just the human-nature resistance to change.

But the new quotes page is a keeper and we'll be making similar changes to other finance-specific content.
