Mr. Spectrum: You're right on all counts. The new forums are painful to use. They don't seem to be getting any better either.

pso7025 So cold that if you say something outside, you have to pick up your words & thaw them out on the stove; before you can be heard. That's a joke (barely) -- but, it is a lot colder than people realize. In winter, anything above - 40 seems quite mild.

The area of Arctic sea ice increased by over 10% this year, compared to last. When are people going to realize that global warming alarmists are serial exaggerators?

Why isn't this stock locked to trading? It is now June 1 -- & it is still possible to trade this stock. What good is playing PPX, if players can place their bets after the event has occured? PPX Admins: Please get your collective act together. Set up a system, whereby stocks are automatically locked prior to the event date -- or at least, circle the dates on your calander, and lock the stocks manually.

This is a painful site -- painful in just about every way possible. Let me mention some of the things that pain me: * The need to log off and then log on to get access; * Painfully slow everywhere; * A forum without conversations (that's what the "improvements" have wrought, in practice); * Tiny type -- to make way for all the promos and ads; * Infinite looping & other crash-inducements; * Distracting, flashing ads; * Slow, slow, slow site (did I mention that?); * Portfolio is not updated regularly; * Random portfolio updates are so infrequent as to be virtually useless; * It's no fun -- the pain-to-fun ratio is far too high (except, perhaps for self-loathing masochists); * My interest in technology & prediction exchanges drew me here before the site was "improved". Had I just discovered the site, I'd be gone after the first visit. I still have "hope" for a "change" -- but that hope is dissolving & my patience is wearing thin. * The site is a portal for a technology publication – the irony is too rich for my blood.
