It looks like our upgrade has been completed, and we made it through more or less unscathed. :) Next time you log in, you'll see a set of upgrades simplifying the trading process, making it more accessible to all!

The major change in this upgrade is the addition of "partial filling" of orders -- someone may now purchase a subset of any order you have placed. That means no more parceling your L$ into block sizes you think will sell. Simply place your entire deposit for sale at the price you want, and when your order reaches the top of the queue, it will be filled by the next purchase -- automatically!

We've also added a "simple" interface for the market. Want to buy or sell currency instantly? Simply enter and confirm the amount to trade, and our system will do the rest! It will instantly buy or sell to open orders at the best price available. No more trying to match orders and having to sell off that last block for a few cents below market value! Now trading on GOM is simple and hassle-free! :)

Happy trading!

T.

P.S. As with any upgrade, there may be issues with the new code that we have overlooked. If you come across anything "unexpected", please file a support request with details and we'll get it fixed ASAP. Thanks! :)

We've taken the site offline for a short period of time to perform a significant upgrade to our codebase. I'll post again when we're back up.
Excellent! I hope you fix that one nasty bug where the system would tax an obnoxious percentage of Linden to US Dollar conversions. ;)

Sure, we fixed that one. Unfortunately, another one has crept in that seems to only affect accounts with avatars named "Ulrika"... It randomly disperses any L$ deposited to other GOM users... :P

BTW, we're back up and running. Let us know if you find any problems.
