You are right, Elmer. All the graphics are turned off in my account also, but it takes 30 seconds to load the portfolio info most of the time. Maybe they do not have the processing power to obtain all the prices and value of the portfolio. Who knows. But it sure if a very poor system. EVERY other site on the web can get a stock price quickly. If they would get all the fancy crap on another system and just have a link to it off a very fast quote/portfolio/trading web site. Very few people like the fancy stuff. They do not seem to understand and they do not listen to us. The portfolio page is apparently using graphics to form the background of the table. When you see all the solid colors, it apparently takes a lot of time to send it to us. The old "Classic" site just uses standard black lines and it was much easier to read and handle. Why they want to use the fancy crap and make it hard to read the portfolio page boggles my mind. WHY DON'T THEY WAKE UP???? Keep it simple and therefore the speed will increase. Elementary web design 101. I bet you would be surprised at how many customers they have lost. The churn must be outta sight. I am not long or short in the stock and you can be sure I will not be buying it in the future.
