With the recent addition of the "Breaking News" alert button at the bottom of each post,
Where is the button for this new addition?

Thanks for the answer, Sharon!
My point was that IB can implement what TB asks for, within reason.

The reality is IB implements

The sad truth is certain improvement, such as
FT Premium and some functional mobile apps, has long been put on hold or ignored by IB.

Amen!
