Every time i try to look up one of the valid stocks that you have listed it gives me this:

"(msft) is not a valid Stock Symbol. Please enter a valid Stock Symbol."

So it turns out that none of them are FTSE 100 companies, so here is a list of all FTSE 100 companies. Add .L to the two/three letter abbreviation to search for them.

I'll leave that to you, if you do decide to post a link to the message I posted.

 

[Ch3tan]

Seems to have a problem, I can only see my profit / loss and shares. I cannot see the leader board, popular shares links etc. I can't actually see anything except that my page, or navigate out of it.

 

[Deebs]

Ah that's due to the link, let me play in a while to fix.

 

[Jupitus]

Is the ranking done based on % change? It seems to be basing it upon total amount invested, so if you invest some of your gains your relative performance goes down. Shouldn't it be calculated based on % versus the initial 5k?

[Edmond]

[Deebs]

Have you tried a different browser? Wondering if javascript is disabled.
