ok but should it not be posted in the end user agreement. Then I would have no excuse. I understand that upgrading may be necessary and crucial, but disabling my system,...just felt that was not polite and uncalled for
I received this email for IBFX,
Dear Interbank FX Customers,
We wanted to update you on the problems you are experiencing today with MT4 and apologize for the inconvenience. This morning Meta Quotes came out with a new update to their software.
Shortly after the update came out we received the following email message from Meta Quotes.
Bug in Data Center Build 304
”Unfortunately, in build 304 that had been released in the morning today, an error was discovered. This error concerns retardation of the quotes flow. We highly recommend to launch manual updating through Administrator and upgrade data centers to build 305.The error was caused by adding of the new mode of hourly checking the charts constancy. The main quotes pumping stream was braked due to numerous rechecks of charts. We are making our apologies for possible inconveniences caused by this error.”
Forced upgrades are not a necessity!!!!!!!!

Actually that email is in regards to the server software IBFX is using. Look at my chat with IBFX operator? I clearly mentioned that software would not allow trading as I have an "older version". So if that is not forced upgrades, then please explain what that means keeping in mind the conversation with I had with IBFX. I would not be so upset if Metaquotes clearly stated that upgrading to new builds is mandatory. I understand new builds are there for fixes and improvements. But if what I have is working, why upgrade to a whole other set of new bugs that I need to adapt to? Bugs are common and until they seem to be clearly fixed...I would rather not upgrade until then. So Metaquotes is this your doing? Or is this IBFX giving me the run around?

You are now chatting with 'Client Services'
Client Services: Hi, this is Dale. How may I help you?
you: yes Dale...my platform is showing in the lower righ hand corner "Old VErsion" and will not connect
you: using version 4.00 build 186
you: just happened like 15-30 minutes ago
Client Services: go to help and about and tell me the version
you: i did already
Client Services: oops sorry
Client Services: current version is 193
you: yes i know
you: but 193 has massive bug issues
Client Services: metatrader is making people upgrade
you: really? never heard of such a thing from any software company in my life
Client Services: no there are more problems on the older builds
you: I disagree, but if you say so. So that is the problem then yes?
Client Services: what they have done is made the signal inactive for older versions
you: ok thank you
Client Services: this is from metatrader.... not from us
you: ok thanks
Now for me to mention that this is a live account, so I'm pretty upset.
If upgrading is not an option, then I feel I should not be allowed to cancel the build when I start up the platform.
So bugs and all it seems I have no choice.
