I'm getting the flickering between 2 different charts currently still.
Its due to a change Betfair attempted about 5 years ago, and in the process cause further issues including caching problems resulting in them sometimes flicking back and forth

Peter did do a video and wrote and article with further information

I don't think it is lag / slow updates.

The charts are flipping between 2 different images, back n forth repeatedly
Yup, flicking between two different looking graphs all the time
Graphs are messed up again 😒

temporarily was restricted on the bf website to my account details (profit/loss) pages earlier. message saying their software had detected unusual activity or from another country.. Anyone else had this sort or trouble? not a pleasant experience.. should I contact them? Checked my i.p address they quoted and was ok in England.

(had something similar a few months back when trying out a vpn and didn't allow the streaming pop-up to be excluded.. but as i say that was a while ago....

Sounds like your stream dropped. If you see a lock up like this, it's often worth switching one market and switching back, or switching to polling and back again.

I've had to switch between polling and streaming a few times today.
