Default Feature: Inline Stock Quotes

Okay I've been working on this one for a while and I think it's at a point where I can unleash it on you guys. They are mostly just a toy but I think they turned out pretty sweet. They are also cached so they should not slow down our server at all.

Shouts to mytE and yes even the Troll in IRC for the help with these.

Please note the bugs section at the end of this announcement before whining.

Embed Stock Quotes into your Posts
You will see a new button in the Advanced Post editor

This will enable you to easily enclose a ticker in [stock] tags. Ticker symbols enclosed in [stock] tags will display a tiny AJAX'ed stock quote popup.

Examples: AAPL, MSFT, ^FTSE, ^DJI

Please Remember
  • You MUST use Yahoo Finance format tickers. Use their site to determine what will work.
  • Please limit your tickers to 3-5 per post maximum to reduce overhead.
Bugs and Stuff to Fix
  • FIXED: UK / Asian / Markets graphs are not working as far as I can tell, but the rest of the data comes in (price, volume etc). This is Yahoo Finances' fault but YES I know we have many traders from the UK so this should be fixed soon.
    NOTE: These now work, EX: AFR.L
  • FIXED: Popups now change where they pop to avoid breaking the viewport of the browser with scrollbars.
  • When editing a post and changing the ticker symbol within that post you will need to refresh your browser in that thread for the changes to take effect.
  • Quotes from Yahoo are delayed 20 mins. Unfortunately I know of nobody giving real time quotes and charts for 'a reasonable price'. This will change soon I hope.
  • Some minor IE display issues.

Yeah basically you will be able to use any North American stock or any world index and get a full chart etc. Most of the other exchanges have a different way to link to the chart image, so we are still working on that, but the rest of the data comes through. Anyways I wanted to get you guys using this but I will post an update once we have the issue with the charts not showing for foreign exchanges asap.
