Bonkers Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 G'day Jerry, Couple of issues I have. 1. I am getting news from both the ASX and Commsec. Under settings -> news I have only ASX checked to receive news. In fact Commsec does not even appear as a news source option. Even under data sources news is not checked for Commsec. Wondering why I receive headlines from both with the same headline? 2. If I select the Commsec headline and double click it I then get a google search page listing results based on the headline text not the Commsec article. Problem or my settings?

Jerry Medved Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 1) With Commsec, we don't actually request the news. The result for the quotes has the news data on there. So I just configured it to read it in if it is there. That is why the news shows up even though Commsec is not listed as a news source. 2) as for viewing - I think their news points to PDF files, so if your IE browser cannot show PDF, not sure what will show. IE because the embedded browser is IE. If you close the preview pane and then try to open it so it goes to a regular browser, does it work?

Bonkers Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Ok, this morning both news services worked as they should. Must have been something to do with Commsec. Would still be nice to be able to select (in news settings) either or both feeds Regards.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I can't have it listed. I can add a checkbox on the settings page for Commsec if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkers Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 If that will allow me to deselect it and thus not have Commsec news show up, fine. Else don't worry about it. Thanks and regards. PS Do you ever sleep?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Medved Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 News - Yes, that is what it would do, As for sleep - we had that covered on the QuoteTracker FAQ . but certainly doesn't feel like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkers Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I see the old QT FAQ (archived here) said "NO". Seems nothing has changed. Doesn't work for us old retirees. We NEED sleep. Even if it does shorten our perceived time remaining. Ageing is a bugger. Regards toy you and your brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkers Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 G'day Jerry, You have email. Also, the Supported Functionality checkboxs do not appear to be selectable. There are checkmarks in some and not in others but apart from the Commsec Level 1 news no others can be checked or unchecked. Regards.

Jerry Medved Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 the "supported functionality" is read-only - it indicates which functionality that particular site supports. It is not meant for selection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
