I'd very much like to receive some feedback from Peter, Dallas or one of the developers about my recent improvement suggestions which in the main are simple additional layout improvments and not a new set of features or complicated codes or algorithms.

Having the opportunity to open several one-click screens, (as you can already do with several ladder screens), would be a welcome advantage in events where there are several markets.

I often play events where there are winner, top 2, top 3, top 4, top 6 top 10 markets all of whuich are dependant upon the very same live action - several one-click screens in this scenario would be most welcome. I've developed the screen to fit half the width of the monitor, so across two monitors you could have 4 one-click screens with 20 selections visible at any one time and with 2 PC's each with 2 screens you could have 8 one-click screens at your mercy.

I really do hope sopmeone in the suggestions/upgrades department is considering my suggestions as I know they would help me out and therefore they would also help many others out too.

No need for more PCs just have 4 or 6 big 4k monitors.

How about some of these 75" touch screens :D mmmm

Incidentally I think your requirement to display so many markets is so niche it's unlikely to gain much traction. Ditto the one about sorting by different parts of the name of a selection.

The entire purpose of BetAngel is to help and not hinder when trading - not everyone just trades horse racing. It is important that BetAngel evolves in order to stay relevant and provides the required features.

In the main these are very simple layout feature updates which once incorporated will be of interest to many. If BetAngel are unwilling to consider these well thought through and considered updates I shall need to look elsewhere at my next subscription renewal as these updates are not just what I want, they are what I need and they will serve others in the same way. BA have already incorporated several of my previous update suggestions for which I am grateful, so I hope and trust they will seriously consider these latest suggestions.

Not every feature is going to be of use to everyone - I currently have no use for any of the automation features but I welcome their inclusion.

i am sure they will miss you.

the only viable alternatives are far inferior to ba so by all means look but, you will not find anything better.

Your annual subscription would pay for about 1/2 a day of development. Then you have integration testing, implementation & documentation so I'm not sure your threat to leave is particularly menacing.

The best thing you can do is to create a poll and find out what the actual demand for this is.

It is not meant to be menacing but is meant to encourage development - if I have a need it will also be one that others would welcome upon implementation.

The best thing to do is what you have already done with one of your suggestions and that is to create a new thread in the 'suggestion' area for each individual suggestion you have and as Shaunwhite said you could even add a poll to each one that's the way a level of demand can easily be seen by development through other users comments, +1's & the poll itself.

Development do keep a very close eye on the 'suggestion' thread and read every thread in that section but rarely reply unless its to clarify something

Thank you Dallas for your reply - when someone offers what they consider to be useful input it is somewhat frustrating when there is no feedback from those who can make it happen.

As advised I will create a new thread for each and every suggestion/update/improvement for the developent team to analyse and consider - I have already offered to explain and show those in development exactly how such suggestions would be used, which is something that the everyday user would not appreciate unless they also saw it in use at the time of conducting a poll.

For layout suggestions, you can always make a rough mock-up using MS paint/photoshop etc to give other users/development a visual idea to accompany your suggestion
