Not that I'm aware of, but then my watchlist is (quite a bit) smaller than yours.

I don't see any limits mentioned in their FAQ....

Thanks; and for the URL.

Oh dear! All I needed! I shall pray for it to be sorted as previously.

I'm afraid it looks like that won't be any time soon (if at all). I no longer get the '502 Bad Gateway - nginx' error page. Now all I am seeing in Firefox is...

The connection has timed out
The server at finance.digitallook.com is taking too long to respond.

...and in Edge I get: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

Looks like the server is now down, perhaps for good this time

Maybe, but it was working around 9-10ish this morning and then randomly on and off (mostly off) during the afternoon ...

Thanks, that's a hopeful sign. I didn't get round to checking until late afternoon.

If it's any consolation, sharecast.com isn't working either!

So HYPTUSS can't get forecast yields.

fwiw (which may be nothing) I couldn't get on to any of the research pages on my iWeb account this afternoon. I don't know who operates those. Fingers crossed that it is down to a temporary glitch.

Yes, that is highly relevant. It's not just your account, their publicly available 'Shares Centre' and 'Markets and Insights' pages time out, eg. http://www.markets.iweb-sharedealing.co ... es-centre/

Looking at an archived copy of the above page in the Wayback Machine it states that the data is indeed provided to them by DigitalLook...

"The information contained within this website is provided by Web Financial Group, a parent company of Digital Look, unless otherwise stated...
...This is a solution powered by Digital Look Ltd incorporating their prices, data, news, charts, fundamentals and investor tools on this site."

...so it looks increasingly like DL has major server problems to sort out, and that our missing DL portfolios is just one symptom of a much larger problem.

Thanks, That's yet another WebFG owned site that's down, currently displaying:

"Error 522 ... The initial connection between Cloudflare's network and the origin web server timed out. As a result, the web page can not be displayed."

Not just me then phew, but I spent 20 mins sodding around with my settings before checking here.

It's probably worth giving it another go - it looks fine now..

Well that is timing, thanks, you're right it's fine now.

Beat me to it! I must have been checking as you were posting.

Sharecast seems to be back as well. As is HYPTUSS.

Thanks, and I have just signed in to my Digital Look Portfolio - so even that is working again now


Edit: it's still a bit flaky, getting "504 Gateway Time-out nginx" intemittently....

Actually, it's not fine. I noticed that some of my recent additions of shares have been undone.
(I only use DL to warn me that a dividend has arrived as it's too flaky to use as a portfolio monitoring tool)

And in fact, the site's down again for me

I was getting 502 nginx error at finance.digitallook.com yesterday, overnight and still am today. (Nor am I getting the normal digitallook.com redirect to sharecast). But I see sharecast is working today if I go directly to it FWIW, not that it's any use. But Halifax SD market data seemed to be functional late afternoon - although I'm never sure how much of that comes from DL and how much from Morningstar!

Interesting you say you are keeping a portfolio at ft.com as I had it in my mind (so much so I could swear to it!) that FT had moved both markets data and portfolios behind the paywall as part of the site revamp some years back, so gave up trying to access it. But sure enough I just tried and it's accessible now. Did it go behind the paywall was then subsequently de-restricted on the quiet?

No. the FT portfolio and watchlist have always been available with the free registration. What moved behind the paywall was historic share prices and charts. What can also be a little hard to find is the free registration option: https://www.ft.com/register

Well that's funny, I'm registered and logged in and I can't access much at all today. Only "summary" and "profile" are available. The useful information (all tabs) I could see on the 30th Dec. is behind the paywall now.

Well yes... wasn't that was what I said? The free registration still allows you to create and maintain Watchlists and Portfolios, including keeping track of dividends paid. Yes, charts and historic prices are behind the paywall, but there are other free resources for that - even Sharecast (Digital Look, as was).

If you need it all in one place, then try MorningStar's portfolio.
