    Default Another suggestion for the tracker

    Tom - I'm sorry I keep thinking up ways to "improve" the tracker...but here goes.

    Next to the daily ranking I would like to know how many places up or down each member moved since the day before.

    Example - COB on monday MemberABC was #250 and COB on tuesday MemberABC was at #235.
    Next to MemberABC would be +15

    Or if MemberDEF was #97 and fell to #297 there would be -200.

    Again I apologize but I think this would show who's on the move.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I won't make any promises, but I'll look into it.

    Maybe you should poll this idea? I mean it isnt a bad idea but do we want to encumber the tracker with more data? It already is slow to load and all of us dont have super wide broadband connections.

    I have wireless @ home and frankly its not a lot better than a (fast) modem at times.
    I like TSPTalk and I think most people here are well-intentioned but if I followed their advice, I'd be hunkered down in my basement with a thousand cans of tuna fish.

    How about a phone application for TSP Talk that has push notifications whenever someone in the top 10 changes their fund allocation?

    At the top you can sort by user name and YTD returns.

    Any way to add a sort by MTD returns?

    I just see people making comments about their own performance regarding how they "moved from the 700's to the 400's" or "I gained 75 spots even though I lost money." Things like that. I've always wanted an easy way to tell who's making the big moves in position on the tracker.

    Tom - Thanks for taking the time to consider it.

    Maybe if you paginate the webpage (1-100, 101-200, etc) then it would load faster.

    Most of us can guess where we are on the list... 600+ for me

    I did that a couple of months ago. I almost got shot.

    See this thread to re-live the fun ... http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/showthread...597#post299597

    At the time we were having problems with the AT loading so I made the change. I guess i can make it an option (all or 100 at a time)

    That is already a feature. Just click on the column heading if it is underlined. Only weekly and daily returns can not be sorted (on that page).
