A new version of the SOA Calculator has gone live. You can access it at its normal address here.

What's new?

To make the copy and paste of the SOA more fool-proof, I have automated as much of the process as I can and have provided more help too.
  1. The Format for MSE output has been redesigned to make it crystal clear what needs to be copied. Furthermore, there is a new button called "Highlight Text" which will automatically select the complete SOA with all its formatting tags so that nothing gets missed.
  2. A clear list of instructions walks the user how they copy and paste the SOA into a post on MSE DFW.
  3. And as if that wasn't enough, after you have selected and copied your text, you can even click on a link that will open up a brand new post on the DFW board ready for you to paste the SOA into.
One additional small enhancement is aimed at making it easier to copy and paste the Format for Print output into a spreadsheet.
  1. I have moved the SOA commentary from the middle of the Format for Print page to the bottom of the page, so that you can select all the tabular stuff together if you want to paste it into a spreadsheet. It also makes it easier for you to leave off the commentary if you want to share the SOA with an advisor via email or print etc.
If there any problems, please shout out.
