What is [Market 2]

[musixman]

market 2? Been away for awhile.

[StockTrader]

musixman:

First of all, welcome back

Second of all, here's Market 2 in a nutshell:

[1] No more "buymax" button. Now, all you have to do is click on the player's row to "buymax" the player. Clicking the the player's name, however, will still take you to their player profile.
[2] Changing ports and highlighting have both been added. Each stock owned [per portfolio] will highlight on the market page. Total Value is gray, monthly is red, quarterly is yellow and yearly is blue. You no longer have to reload the page when wanting to change your portfolio. This was much more useful previous to stock highlighting, but is still very useful.

Hope that helps.

Nick

Even though it is pretty much filled up could we put a link somewhere on the homepage. I say this because it is a little annoying like me to have to go to the forums in order to buy someone using the market two page. I did not even know what it was until just a few days ago.

Btw, Thank you for this great addition.

A lot of cool additions to the game although we lost Emmitts temporarily. We hope to move forward in a positive manner and are glad to have you back.

that's one thing I've never liked about that layout- it's not easy to add a simple link at times like this.....about the best we could do is either 1.) add a text link at the bottom of the template or 2.) add whatever link at the top of either/both the port and market page......I'll talk to Nick about it.

btw...it's possible (haven't thought it completely thru yet) that there won't BE 2 market pages ongoing.....we've talked of a combination of market and market2 being THE market page......tho I'll be honest that I've also thought about having market2 eventually become part of a subscription package.

as you can see i have just came back as well, well found the site again on one of the voteing sties.

good to see people posting

1st, welcome back....2nd, the amount of activity can be deceiving..I'd love more posting certainly, but there's always a bit of a lull between the 2 biggest seasons (NFL and MLB)....and we hope to have new things available soon...

As to market 2- it's the market page 'on steroids'.....first, any stocks you're holding in the port active when you go there will be highlighted in gray, letting you know you own it....second, you can buy any stock without leaving the page- click the stock's row anywhere other than the name and the system will ask if you want to buy max...click yes and the deal is done, that stock will now be in gray, and you're ready to make your next transaction.

Maybe you can help the forum activity by posting

You'd be surprised who I remember......especially someone who uses a username that's right out of my past....

you weren't Barfly before JS tho, were you?

anyway, I helped my brother (and former boss) create the Barfly Society at his bar....wish they still had the Summer Barfly since I created that logo....but here's the original

[Barfly60]
