Why are we still using Flash?


Djelibaybi

Question

Flash is an outdated technology that is slow, cumbersome and generally a pain in **** to use. Yet again I'm having issues getting the charts up as IG is telling me I don't have Flash installed, even though I do and it's allowed on the site.

Here's an idea IG, how about you separate yourselves from this obsession with Flash, realise it's outdated and update your platforms with HTML5? Wouldn't that be nice?

Hi @Djelibaybi, the new platform is HTML5, the old platform will be phased out once all trade types have migrated to the new and the share dealing is in the process of being updated. Another solution to the flash problem was posted by cate recently.

Oh dear - have found the problem! Cleared the cache and the charts are back... Sorry for the fuss!

Thanks Caseynotes.

Do you have any idea on how much longer that's going to take? The new platform was released last year.

Thanks for the response.

Hi @Djelibaybi, sorry but haven't seen anything go through on timing for the arrival of the new share trading platform or for the carry over of the remaining instruments onto the new web based platform. I am assuming they now have priority now the ESMA debacle has pasted.

Seems IG will need to get a move on developing the new HTML5 platforms to replace the old web based and the share dealing platform as Adobe are set to 'permanently retire' flash in 2020.

Interesting article here on flash being used for 'cryptojacking' where malware slipped into flash starts you computer mining for Monero to send to an anonymous wallet.

    • The digital landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as attention, once a freely given commodity, is increasingly recognized as a valuable asset. Layer3 is at the forefront of this revolution, pioneering a new economy where attention can be owned, traded, and monetized   This innovative approach empowers individuals to monetize their engagement, providing unprecedented control over personal data. Simultaneously, advertisers benefit from transparent metrics that optimize campaign performance. Content creators are presented with diverse revenue avenues beyond traditional advertising, while the overall ecosystem experiences a more equitable distribution of value.   The implications of Layer3 extend across various sectors. Social media platforms, for instance, can leverage this technology to revolutionize user engagement and monetization strategies. Tokenomics play a crucial role in driving Layer3's economy, incentivizing participation and rewarding value creation. While challenges such as data privacy and market volatility exist, the potential benefits of Layer3 are immense   Anticipation is building as its native token $L3 is on Bitget Pre-market as users await its listing on the exchange. This milestone is expected to significantly increase the token's visibility and accessibility, potentially driving substantial growth and attracting new investors.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
