Sync issue forces all windows to close


Guest Mr-Yellow

Question

Guest Mr-Yellow

I reported this to helpdesk however due to it being a sync issue and having no clear steps to duplicate, and because the individual support person had not received any similar reports I was told it would not be forwarded on and no ticket would be created for developers. 

 
So instead I am forced to come here and make a noise.

The site has a async/sync issue where if a browser crashes (something the javascript code involved can do often enough) then the backend is left in a state where it breaks the sites UX.

* Crashed tab
* Click Chrome button to restore it.
* "Platform" tab is insta-closed
* "Open platform" results in a tab opening which is insta-closed.
* No further action can be taken in the system without first logging out and in again.

> it was originally developed that the platform could only be open in one tab per browser

This is entirely inappropriate for any website. I manage my tabs and windows in my browser, no site should interfere with the normal functioning of a web browser.

This is the antithesis of good UX.

> Unless it is something that can be replicated we are unable to raise it as an issue.

Being a sync issue I would require your full dev environment to build a system which could duplicate such a **bug**. This obviously is not something I can do, so demanding duplication of such a sync issue is not productive in any way and does not lead to any improvement in the IG systems.
 
Please open a ticket so the developers can be made aware of this actual issue in their system.
 
I'm sure they know that this kind of code is always a bad idea but someone in middle-management through they were a genius. Unfortunately said genius is not a UX expert and has messed up your system.

Why are you not using the new platform? That should be html5 rather than JS. 

Also it’s likely to only offer one tab and auto close any attempts at a second for a number of different reasons, many of which I believe you have no idea about. 

To be frank I’m always curious as to why a single individual seems to think that have a better grasp of things over a multi billion pound company with hundreds of devs working on it...

lol

Yes. If the backend state gets out of sync with the actual browser state then this functionality instead closes any new attempts to open a FIRST "platform" window.

 you have no idea about.

Oh the irony.

Devs need user feedback or issues like this remain undetected.

Thanks for your valuable contribution.

My bad. Was thinking about flash charts vs html5 charts whilst talking about scripts *facepalm*. Apologies. 

Point stands.

Thankyou for taking this seriously and fixing the UX failure of trying to track tabs in backend.

Now they open in the same window like every other website. Awesome.

    • I'm thrilled about my recent purchase of JTO tokens on Bitget, and I see them playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of Jito Network. The innovative features and capabilities offered by JTO tokens indicate a promising trajectory for the network. With its decentralized nature and robust technology, Jito Network has the potential to revolutionize various industries, especially in the realm of decentralized finance (DeFi). The transparency and security provided by JTO tokens are impressive, and I believe they will contribute to the network's widespread adoption, establishing it as a key player in the blockchain space. As the Jito Network continues to evolve and gain traction, my investment in JTO tokens seems poised to become an integral part of a transformative journey in the world of decentralized technologies.
    • H4 Time Frame: Made an interesting observation. Looks like gold is in "Cycle Pattern #2"... Daily Time Frame: Gold is currently challenging cyclical support - an important level, a closing below would suggest a further decline, unless price creates a bearish reversal by immediately closing back inside the cycle. If this happens, we will have a low or temporarily low in place.
    • This week sees three major central banks meet to decide on interest rates. All three of the Fed, ECB and BoE are expected to leave rates unchanged, but the commentary around these decisions could cause volatility. Source: Bloomberg   Shares Federal Reserve Inflation European Central Bank Central bank Interest rate    Chris Beauchamp | Chief Market Analyst, London | Publication date: Monday 11 December 2023 15:40 Fed to rein in hopes of rate cuts? The Federal Reserve is expected to maintain the current Fed funds target range of 5.25-5.5% at the upcoming FOMC meeting. This decision is influenced by recent economic indicators such as softer activity numbers, cooling labour data, and moderate month-on-month inflation figures. These factors suggest that the current monetary policy is likely restrictive enough to bring inflation down to the desired 2% level in the coming months. However, the focus of attention is likely to be on the individual forecasts of Fed members. The market perceives that significant rate cuts are imminent, but it remains to be seen how far the Fed members will align with this sentiment. It is anticipated that there will be considerable resistance to such expectations. Markets are now firmly anticipating the possibility of aggressive interest rate cuts by the Fed in 2023. On November 1st, after the Fed kept rates steady, markets saw only a 20% chance of a final rate hike in December and expected around 90 basis points of cuts through 2024. Currently, markets clearly believe interest rates have peaked, with 125 basis points of cuts priced in over the next year. The risk for this Fed meeting is that the central bank proves to be insufficiently dovish for current investor expectations. Risk assets like stocks having come so far since late October that they are now pricing in a lot more good news. Disappointment in the wake of the Fed meeting could spark a selloff in equities and a surge in the dollar that could undermine hopes of a ‘Santa rally’ in stock markets. ECB split on the way forward The European Central Bank (ECB) is facing internal disagreements regarding future monetary policy. Some members are open to further rate hikes, while others believe rate cuts may be necessary. The weak economic backdrop does not justify rate hikes, but the solid labour market and wage growth, along with inflation above target, make discussions on rate cuts premature. The ECB has mentioned the "last mile" in bringing inflation back to target, emphasizing the need to keep rates higher for longer. Wage settlements will also play a significant role in determining the ECB's stance. Despite the ECB's gradual shift towards a more dovish stance, there is a risk of underestimating disinflation. The ECB is cautious after years of above-target inflation, and will be slow in moving towards a more dovish stance. Bank of England to stick to tough stance on inflation The Bank of England (BoE) is expected to maintain its firm stance against interest rate cuts in the UK, despite other central banks considering a change in their approach to inflation. The BoE is projected to keep borrowing costs at a 15-year high and emphasise the need for elevated rates to combat stubborn inflation in the country. While the European Central Bank and the US Federal Reserve are also likely to keep their benchmark rates unchanged, officials at both institutions have indicated a potential shift towards rate cuts. Although the UK's inflation rate has decreased from its peak of 11.1% a year ago, it remains above the BoE's 2% target. The BoE is concerned that despite signs of a cooling labour market, wage growth remains strong following the 14 consecutive interest rate hikes between December 2021 and August this year. Governor Andrew Bailey and other members of the Monetary Policy Committee have consistently emphasized that it is premature to consider rate cuts. However, investors are pricing in a potential BoE rate cut for May or June next year. Nevertheless, the BoE is perceived to be lagging behind the ECB and the Fed, with markets indicating a 70% chance of rate cuts by March for both institutions.       This information has been prepared by IG, a trading name of IG Markets Limited.
