Severity

Description of Problem 

Possible Solutions 

Major

Batch Removal of Midnights from Watch List. The user found that there was no support for removing more than one midnight at a time from the watch list at a time.

Use checkboxes instead of 'x's.  Then have a "clear all" button at the bottom.

Major 

No Log Out.  The user wished to, but couldn't figure out how to, log out.

Include a logout button that will log the user out.

Minor

Quotes Page Aesthetics.  The user felt that the quotes page was very information-dense, and suggested color coding bids and asks.

Color code bids and asks.

Good

Very Nice. The user felt that the interface was very nice.

None.

Major

Confusion Over Buy/Sell.  Despite verbal guidance, the user was still confused by the bid/ask terminology.  This happened to two users.

This is a problem we have been trying to deal with ever since the beginning.  We don't have a solution yest, other than some sort of help section.  It should be a one-time problem for any user, though.

Major

*Unintuitive Enter Press.  * The user pressed the enter key to complete a bid, but instead, the bid was cancelled.  We were able to replicate this event, though not with a 100% success rate.

Something fishy going on in the back-end.  Need to explicitly say what happens when the enter key is pressed.

Major

Button Relocation.  Sometimes the buttons on the bid ticket pop-up would appear outside of the boundaries of the pop-up.  The user was able to realize this and complete the task, but still remarked upon it.

The way we chose to change the content of the pop-up led to this error.  While the buttons could move down, they didn't move back up.  We need to fix the back-end to compensate.

Minor

Text Field Relocation. In certain windows, the text box for entering prices on the bid ticket pop-up would appear on the next line, confusing the user.

Increase the bid ticket size.

Minor

Watch List Ordering.  The user noticed that after deleting an item from the watch list, the order of the items in the watch list would change.

We can't figure out the reason for this, but a possible solution is to re-sort the list after deletion of an item.

Good

Table Formatting.  The user liked the table formatting, and also that his username was bolded.

None

Cosmetic

Table Formatting. The user thought it'd be nice to change the color of the column corresponding to the current day of the week.

Change the back-end to do this, though we feel it is unnecessary.

Major

No FAQ.  The user looked for a FAQ while exploring the website and didn't find one.

Take advantage of the fact that the user might actually want a FAQ and put one in.  This can help alleviate the bid/ask distinguishment problem.
