Usage
The list is accessible through a new menu item within the category menu. The item is labelled "Watch list" and appears on the outer right side of the menu. Clicking on the list opens a new page displaying the list of markets as compiled by the user.
The items on the list refresh their contents periodically. The refresh interval can be set on the preferences page for the extension: Go to 'My Hubdub' - 'Extension Settings' - 'Market Watch'. Refreshing can be initiate manually by clicking the 'Refresh' link.
The list view is updated automatically even while the list is displayed. So, whenever a market is added to the list, the list will show the new entry (after a slight delay) without any user interaction.
Entries are shown in a small form only containing the title, image, options and current worth as well as the suspension of the question. The entry can be switched to a larger view, which additionally contains the graph, as well as the buttons to make or cash-in predictions. From this view, new prediction can be made directly, without having to navigate to the market details page. Also, cashing in of previously made predictions without leaving the list is possible.
Markets displayed in the list can be ordered by the user. Eventually, markets can also be removed from the list using the according link.
Hubdub markets can be added to the list by clicking the "Add to watchlist" link in the social media links section of the question details page. Additionally, the same link is added to the market summery when displayed on any market list page.
Whenever a market is part of the list, the link will display "Remove from watchlist", and will remove the market from the list accordingly if clicked.
