Thanks GoingAway. I don't know if you might have been mislead by the comments of the OP, "secret moderator-IB cabal". The actual facts of the scenario for this "latest enhancement" (your reference) if it makes any difference is that IB posted to the Moderators that they were making a change ... the very same afternoon that they made the change. There was no actual long testing period by the Mods which might have resulted in a different response nor lengthy period of input. In fact, the very first reply from a Mod regarding this issue when it was posted by IB, was that they did not think it that important to change vs. "other things that need fixing (like search, or the periods of slooooow speed on FT for instance)." The very first reply. Now, do you really think that this reply is that different than "regular" users might have posted?

Again, I totally understand you may have been mislead by the OP believing there is some sort of "secret moderator-IB cabal." There is not. I hope the addition of actual facts are of assistance to you.

IMO - this latest enhancement is just another scenario where IB has once again failed basic expectations in communication and technology with the FT community.
