The “performance & security” language isn’t new to this month. But there is stuff that is new to this month that makes the “performance & security by Cloudflare” language way more of a nuisance than it was in prior months.

This “connection is secure” stuff with FT now is over the top in interfering with the user experience. Or at least that’s my view on it.

I am guessing they were created by the same people that are creating the metaverse.

My battle with Cloudflare continues. I can't post from the US; I have to reroute my VPN through a Euro country in order to gain entry. This has been going on for over a year. On Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. On both of my laptops and on the desktop. On my iPhone, even. Oy vey.

And the "did you know companies are using AI against botnets...." language displayed.

When I click the back bustton to go back to previous page, I am often getting the error

Document Expired

This document is no longer available.

The requested document is not available in Firefox’s cache.

As a security precaution, Firefox does not automatically re-request sensitive documents.
Click Try Again to re-request the document from the website


I am also getting the checking connection message when connecting sometimes, however that does automatically progress after a second ot 2

Is anyone from FT support or IB planning on stepping into this thread with some feedback or updates?

cblaisd Oct 25, 2022 5:05 pm

Please -- let's have some patience due to some unanticipated exigencies. I'm sure IB staff will comment when possible.

Thank you. (No need to comment on this post)

This is really poor UI design. Since these are supposed to be different, make them different - different color, different highlighting, different content.

...

Maybe going back to unbolding of the read fora?

I came here to figure out why forums weren't shown with unread posts anymore. I hadn't even clocked on to the fact that the two icons were slightly different. Agree, it is too subtle.

First thing I noticed when I logged on today and took a snip to ask why, but well beaten to it by many others. Ridiculous change to make for this user and it seems I'm not alone.

Nobody asked for new smileys (and if they did, they were mistaken).

Please bring back the old ones https://web.archive.org/web/20070701....com/frown.gif

I have to support this request.

Some of the 'new' emojis are different enough that they express an emotion nuance that is not the same as that conveyed by the 'original' emoji, thus altering the intent and meaning of the post. Either revert or get rid of them altogether. Changing the emojis is similar to changing the actual words a poster used in a post.

I agree with the above.

Also, the color scheme for some of these emojis are something that just comes across as something expected from kids’ use of Discord or video game chatting.

Airport Code Lookup seems to be broken
 
I assume this is related to the October 24th upgrade as it worked for me until a few days before the changes but today I noticed that it no longer works.

When I click on Airport Code Lookup at the bottom of a page, it takes me to the expected page. When I then enter an airport code (either an unusual one or a standard one such as CDG for a test), I just get a page (several big paragraphs) of garbled text that looks like it might have some html codes.

I attempted to replicate this and was successful - the ACL is broken.

Hi guys,

Sorry I haven't been responding. I was out for several days with COVID (I actually tried to delay the update because of that).

From what I've seen, the most pressing issue, the login stuff, has been fixed.

I just reported the ACL breakage.

For read/unread forums/threads, the main way I usually tell is whether the title is bold or not, so that is a workaround until we get this fixed. I checked and it is actively being worked on.

IBJoel Oct 26, 2022 4:59 pm

The read/unread icons were returned to their original versions.

The ACL issue is actually because the site we pulled from broke, and since IATA charges to use their code, we're going to build our own
