Come on guys! Moaning on this bb isn’t going to change anything, nor is it going to add discussion value.

If you’re unhappy, pick up the phone or email II, only please stop clogging the discussion here with your dissatisfaction.

Cheers, rant over!

More likely, someone in Marketing instructed the nerd......

And....... you all pay ii for this service?

Have just found the old style search option where you can enter ticker codes and get prices without having to select the share and you can select the market.
Use the Research drop down and click on international markets - the old style banner is at the bottom

Wow - just updated my debit card details with ii and got charged 1p for doing it !

Also if you update your card and then lose it within the next 30 days the system won't accept another update until 30 days have passed from the last update.

That's fine.
I have spent a tortuous 15 minutes trying to update my spreadsheet for various closing prices. I used to just enter the ticker code into the quote box at the bottom of the screen, hit enter and the closing price was displayed. I now have to enter the ticker, then select the share from the options given to get the closing price which has been wrong 25% of the time - clicking on the i to the right takes me to the share info which shows the correct closing price. Sometimes the system doesn't recognise the ticker code eg EST so I type in East Star which then gives me the share to select.
Rubbish system.

To be fair, the old website may gave been running on an out of support platform and they have been forced to replace it by the regulator - not saying that’s the case here but I’ve been involved in similar “upgrades̶1; in a past life.

Thanks for that cfro - yes I wonder how an amended view screen can promote safer security.
I've only commented 3 times on the "improvements"!
Consructively I might add.

They are 15 minutes behind.

[montyhedge] 17/1/2023 13:38

It's rubbish, what nerd thought of this platform.

[scrwal] 17/1/2023 12:38

Just managed to reconfigure the investments screen so it shows the £ value of my holdings.
Hate the new quote thing at the bottom - you can't just type the ticker for a share and hit enter anymore , nor can you select it to search by foreign exchange either.

Must say getting more use to it

[prokartace] 17/1/2023 10:47

Bigger font means more scrolling! But at least the prices are real time now

[netcurtains] 16/1/2023 20:29

Its a lot better.
They are using a bigger font.
Ideal.

[montyhedge] 16/1/2023 19:41

Yes my screen just come up white.

[smurfy2001] 16/1/2023 17:57

It's OK, IG have better apps/websites.

[1pvh] 16/1/2023 17:29

I thought the existing format was excellent ridiculous changing it in my opinion.The trade history button worked well for me and the days price movements. Telephoned today to complain

[spud] 16/1/2023 17:19

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't have a problem with it. Had a quick runaround and it works just fine. No one likes change though do they!spud

[smurfy2001] 16/1/2023 16:55

montyhedge, did you update the app? No problem on iPhone.

[suetballs] 16/1/2023 16:50

Gecko it's a mess imo.
Last time when they changed the view screen so many must have complained they gave us back the classic view as an option.
Hopefully the same will happen this time - it is clear the IT bods are not investors!!!

So there is no way to revert to the classic view?

I wish medusa Mining would relist in London - only Aussie listed - then I'd close my II account. Been a disgruntled user for a while but this "cosmetic remake" is the final straw. Why fix something that isnt broken.

[montyhedge] 16/1/2023 16:39

My iPhone won't open new app, just blank screen, have to ask them tomorrow.
