Sorry if this has been mentioned on individual SP threads, but I really hate the changes made recently, in particular only seeing the last 5 comments - you lose any context. I’m presuming it’s to make the website function better? If that’s the case, I haven’t noticed any improvement.
Has anyone mentioned previously what we can/shall we do collectively in terms of getting things rolled back?

It seems that the answer to your question is "nothing". The website has taken a big backward step and despite assurances from Craig throughout last week that the "technical team were working on it", they are clearly struggling. I said if they can't give me a free month on my premium subscription, I'd like to cancel it. Do they care?
"There's many bugs on the website currently, some more important than others which means not every bug can be resolved straight away. They'll get to it when they're able to."
"It's unfortunate you can't sort the Watchlist how you'd like for now, but as a website feature it's free for anyone to use and isn't a paid for feature. There's just more website critical bugs they're having to work through for now, so they're not able to get the Watchlist issue resolved as quickly as you'd like.
I've went ahead and cancelled the agreement as requested, which will expire on the 27th of May."

Hi both, we're still reviewing some of the changes; the maintenance from a week and a half back was quite a significant code update, and there's still a few little bits that aren't quite right. We're looking at ways to make the chat a bit better - the limit of 5 on the front screen was to keep the overall page size down a bit (so it's faster on mobile) - but recognise that this might not be ideal.
In terms of the watchlist - I don't think this has changed. You can still sort individual watchlists using the sort button at the top - and I don't believe there was the option to sort shares in each watchlist before (they are alphabetical).
Any other feedback would be appreciated!

Phil the watchlist sort HAS changed. Before, I just set it to sort in descending order of change and it stayed like that. Now, it seems to be in alphabetical order until; I choose Percentage Change. It is almost but not entirely right, but as soon as I click 'refresh', it goes back to your order.
Not earth shattering I agree but just another instance of you changing the website and not bothering to retain existing benefits for users.

And I might add: it's generally an excellent website and well worth what I was paying for premium subscription until later this week. Losing most of the ads in return for subscription was much appreciated and you might be able to see I use the site multiple times each day, for several watchlists with several shares. I just don't get why you can't get the tech people to 'sort' this simple issue out. It feels like you don't care and I guess that's reasonable just for one user.

Almost afraid to say, but the sort shares option has started to work again! My holiday is complete!
