Tickstory

Hi trying2trade,

Glad all your questions are answered. If you have any further suggested enhancements, let us know!

Hi trying2trade, You raise a good question with regards to what "support" means, so please let me clarify.

Excellent news - thanks for the feedback, Thomas.

Hi ramacan, Good to hear you worked around the issue. More than likely what you're experiencing is due to Windows 7 folder virtualisation.
