Commsec's new site

[Tannin]

In general, very pleased with the new site. Most things are easy enough to find and, now that the dust has settled, it works very well. There were a few teething troubles when it first went live, but these are all sorted now. (Well, all mine were.) It would be nice to see a little more customisablity over time, particularly for the "accounts" page - I want to see volume, and I want to see loss/gain % on the day, not just $ value - but overall, the new Comsec site works fast and effectively.

Hi
Anyone else having problems with the Commsec website tonight?
According to my portfolio all my shares are now worth zero.... Big plunge for CBA for example...

That happens to me every now and then...

Just logged on now and it seems fine, but sometimes it shows everything as 0 value and all the financial data is blanked out. It usually goes away in an hour or so.

Thanks Klogg - I just checked again and all is well. CBA did not plummet to $0.00 after all!

A week or so ago the new research tools were released. They seem to be splashier, more visual. Shorty after the release they had some kind of online feedback option to rate the updates. I believe in feedback - especially if I'm not happy about something. I provided feedback about the changes to how much harder it was to find the upcoming dividends. In the last 1 or 2 days the site news had a guide on how to find upcoming dividends. Today I followed the guide. I was not happy so I used the site's general feedback link. Someone just phone me from one of the CBA groups responsible for the site. They acknowledged the upcoming dividends is less informative compared to the previous version. I used the example of WOW - it is not listed in the upcoming dividends (I have a hunch the webtool providing a small list of upcoming divs is based on ex-div date set in the future) and it is fiddly to need to go to the company research to get that information. The person on the phone said my feedback will be fed back up the chain to see if the technical group are going to update.

Does anyone else find the new version of upcoming divs is not as useful as it was?
