Hi Joe. I don't know how much help this will be, but here goes.
You ask If I have accidentally uploaded a chart as "static", is there any way I can change it to a "live annotated" chart?
I had to think back just to remember how to load a chart as static because I never ever annotate in SharpCharts and then save to a Favorites List. When I was first using StockCharts I occasionally saved static charts, and now that you've reminded me I can think of a few reasons why I would, but mostly I want charts that will continue to update. I think once a chart is static, it cannot be changed to live. If anyone knows differently, please post here and correct me.
If you save your charts to a Favorites List before you annotate, you shouldn't have this problem again.
You also ask - if I uploaded a chart with the end date as 8-19-05, how can I change it so it will continue to update to Dec. 05?
Again, I don't think you can change that once you have added it to a Favorites List. Anyone know differently?
In my case, I save everything as live, continuous update forever. I can't think of any reason not to.
I know these answers are not much help, but maybe they will spur someone to correct me, and we'll both learn something new.
Good luck,
Cush
