Peter, long time no hear. You've picked a good time to make yourself heard again, since Datek has been performing so well lately. ;-) This is why we founding customers have stuck it out from the beginning--when Datek works smoothly, it's the best online brokerage around. I like the new interface, but the default size of the text for stock symbols and numbers seems to have shrunk. They are much larger and more easy to read on the classic servers. Would you consider upsizing them a bit? Even though I take Streamer for granted by now, I still marvel at the power you've given the individual investor. Regards, David

PS, there is a slight inconvenience on the new "investment site" regarding order entry: If the "express mode" 1 is enabled, thus allowing to override the confirmation page, the password entry field appears in the trades section of the quotes & trades frame. Hence it is possible to use the investment site that way. But: After retrieving stock quotes from the Quotes Section, and trying to buy/sell by clicking the buy/sell links shown in the quote detail to the right - turns up the "Trades" with preentered buy/qty/ticker/price and the "Enter Order" button, but without* a password entry field (the standard frame). The result is that because of the then missing password the order is not accepted. Remark: When the order is initiated from the portfolio content - clicking "Close", then, a password field is shown in the then opened "Trades" frame and the order can be completed with Password entry. _________ *1 Settings>Preferences>Express Trading (Omits order confo...)
