Thank you. Another thing to consider is that on a smaller device the logos are so tiny that they can't be recognized anyway. Heck, I can barely make them out on my larger screen.

Horrible idea, that's ugly. Do you ever use the site?

Is there a club where webmasters go to decide how to give more superfluous information on a page? Three sites I used to enjoy fine just the way they were, Garmin, Fidelity and Silicon Investor, have all added a ton of new "improvements" that do nothing for me but waste valuable screen space. For example, I once was able to see all my subscribed subjects with new posts with a scan on a single page. Now I have to click the browser window up and down to find the ones I want to read... If this is not removed, I will probably subscribe to fewer topics and use the SI site less. Or.... How do I turn the images off on my subject marks page? That would be an easy fix. Thanks for trying to improve it but sometimes fixing what isn't broken does more harm than good.

On iPad there's now not enough contrast between the links and the background on SubjectMarks. The heading Subject is now flush left rather than left aligned with the actual Subject Names. Hitting it does sort, first descending, so you have the logo and name as one field. I think they need to be separate so the logo can be optionally hidden, and so the word/link to sort is above the names to be sorted. The varying precision was a good choice to control the Price column width. Some stocks under $10 show 3 decimal places, some don't because the 3rd place is a 0. There's room to show it up to 99.999. Could you show 3 places for all of those, even if it ends in 1 or more zeroes? And for stocks over $1,000 do something to show it is rounded, perhaps a letter superscript, if it doesn't interfere with sorting?
