Question

What's going on with yahoo finance????????????

Answer 1

Change your URL to: http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/p?v&k=pf_1

Yahoo Singapore seems to be the closest to what we used to have since it has the "Set Alert" link next to "Create Transaction History" in the lower left.  This works for now, but the chances are that corporate will eventually cram their "New and Improved" format down everybody's throat, worldwide.  Sounds like a classic "Dilbert Syndrome" with too many pointy-haired bosses. . .

The view that existed before this one worked just fine - you could print a portfolio with about 40 entries on it with IE7 by selecting the stuff you wanted, go to print preview, view as selected on screen, adjust size scaling, landscape format and you got a nice spreadsheet-type printout for your historical records all on one page.  The new view effectively double-spaces the data lines and you must shrink the effective font smaller in order to fit it on one page.

Personally, I liked the previous portfolio printouts that I used to make because they came out in a very nice table with solid black header labels, block printed like an Excel spreadsheet.

One can only hope that they will look at all of the negative comments that have been posted about the "New View."

Glad to see I'm not the only one having problems here.

Answer 3

The same thing that's been going on with all the other parts of Yahoo!   The high school intern programmers on their development staff decided that some changes needed to be made without consulting the users.  When it didn't actually explode in their faces, the QA staff decided it was OK.  Then Yahoo pushed it out there without warning anyone or giving them any choice in the matter.

It's only going to get worse.
