Wallstreak popup windows for comment thread

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

I made a new popup layer for comments, so that you don’t have to load a new page every time you click to view a thread/comments on a post at wallstreak - and now they are movable! Ooooo aaaahhhhh.
You can move the window out of the way if you are trying to read the text below - which continues to update automatically with new posts.

I’ve made a calendar archive so you can see posts from past days on WallStreak. It’s on the sidebar right below the Top Ten list.

WallStreak trick #16: User View and Whitelist

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

One thing I’ve noticed that some WallStreak users are doing is just watching one user. Instead of going to the main page, where you see posts by all users (or all users you have not blocked), they are just watching a particular user’s page. For example, they might load Pinoy’s page and they can sit back and the page will automatically update with posts by Pinoytrader, along with his stock watchlist.
What if there are two traders that you would like to watch? Or three?
When you create your account (or after you have created your account by clicking on the “Edit Profile” link), you can select the Whitelist option, which means that only posts of users that you select will be displayed.

To add a user’s posts to your view, just click on the “add user” link in the sidebar:
wallstreak whitelist add
At any time you can switch back to the regular view (all users you have not blocked) by clicking on the “Edit Profile” link and changing the option back to Blacklist.

WallStreak via the Firefox search bar

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

TraderMike posted about quick access to Google & Yahoo Finance via the Firefox search bar, so I made one for WallStreak. You can add it by going to WallStreak and clicking on the Firefox Search dropdown, and clicking on “Add Wallstreak Search.”
Or you can just go here and click on it.

WallStreak: Bad Memory

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

I guess the server has some bad memory, which they are replacing now. Supposedly this is what also caused the problems last week. Once that is fixed, the site will be back up and running.

Update: The memory has been replaced and the site is back up.

WallStreak host having issues

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

In case you’re wondering why you can’t open WallStreak this morning, the host is “currently experiencing instability.” I put in a ‘911′ request for this to be resolved, so hopefully that means it will be taken care of quickly.
Update: It’s back up and running.

WallStreak: Tour added

Saturday, June 2nd, 2007

I’ve added a tour to WallStreak so users can get a better idea about its features. You can see the tour button in the sidebar if you are logged out, or you can get to it from the About page.


WallStreak update: search posts by symbol

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

I made a few changes to the way that WallStreak handles symbols.
First, I made it easier to link to a symbol in a post. Instead of typing ’s:[symbol]‘, you now can just type ‘=[symbol]‘. It’s a little faster. For example, the following post would link AKAM, and automatically add AKAM to my watchlist:

=AKAM looks good.

topten
Before, when you clicked linked stocks, they brought you to stocktickr. now, they search and display all posts that have linked to this symbol. So, in the above example, if you clicked on AKAM it would take you to all WallStreak posts about AKAM.
You can also click on the symbol in the “top ten” box on the sidebar and it will do the same.

WallStreak: Reply to posts makes things more organized

Friday, May 11th, 2007

I have added functionality on WallStreak so that you can reply to a post. You just click on the icon in the post with the little green arrow. When someone replies to one of your posts, you will get an email notification. If you don’t want to receive these notifications, you can turn it off by editing the option in your profile. Let me know if you have questions/comments or notice any bugs. Thanks.
