Double clicking on the box gives you a drop down menu of all the rates you have previously entered, at least it does for me in Firefox. Hardly ideal, but workable.

I can still click in the box and set my rate but can't see what I've entered until I click review - then it goes back to the top again and you have to scroll down a whole page to see what you've entered and confirm it is correct. Hardly user friendly!

Fortunately / Unfortunately I don't actually have quite enough in my account to lend; but I see what everyone means. Taking stretched out ness to the limit! Tried it on the ipad mini and it's even worse - the entire page is stretched out now and you have to scroll down miles to see anything at all - thought it wasn't working, and I'd merely got a blank page at first. Previously the ipad mini was a tad of an improvement on the PC as it seemed to fit the page slightly better and require less scrolling. Well, I was planning to tone down my 'vile' rating but its back up there again. Wake me up when the tweak's over .

Now that you've been forced to withdraw some, you could go on a shopping trip, there must be something your running low on.

Is it possible that someone from RS can truthfully explain what the improvements are in the new website, and who exactly benefits from them. As a lender there just does not seem to be any improvement, just more aggravation in trying to do what was previously quite easy and user friendly. It's not that its changed that is the problem, but that it has changed for the worse, and seems to be change just for the sake of it. I'm sure if it was explained why it had changed and who benefitted then it would be more easily accepted, but to just be given the new format, told it is for our benefit and tough, we are not reverting is just about the worst PR I have experienced from a company that basically relies on its customers to survive.

I've forwarded, as requested, a load of screenshots of the broken stuff, the security warnings, non functional bits etc. and the tech team are apparently looking at it.
I do notice some more tweaking, but no great improvements.
The ^ and V arrows/spinners when setting your lending offer do nothing for me, I *have* to type in the box. That's something else that used to work and is now borken.

I know this is a relatively minor point but I've also noticed that the rate trends graph in Ratesetter info appears to be stuck on w/b 28th Sept and the weekly volume bar for that week is half obscured.

Well the Set Rate Box seems to have gone back to a useable size; but the pages still don't fit on an iPad mini anymore. The left hand menu options are running down miles of screen next to that cool white empty space, before you finally come across the bit you're trying to use/ see. westonkevRS, are the 'we love our new new brand' boys monitoring these threads yet, or can you pass the messages along?

are the 'we love our new new brand' boys monitoring these threads yet, or can you pass the messages along? Brandboys are usually young, they struggle to see (too much gaming) and struggle to hear (earbuds too loud) and the empathy part of their brain has yet to develop as they are probably male. But even with the tweaks i cannot see all of the all-important 'last matched rates' box on my 26 inch 1920x1200 desktop monitor without scrolling. Brand boys: the holy grail is not to have to scroll for the key stuff - is that a hard concept? Am i right in thinking that despite the tweaks if you want to cancel any one market offer (eg 3yr) it cancels ALL offers (1yr, 3yr and 5yr) Jack P

From here you can cancel or amend individual offers within that term market. Everyone How can I change my vote on this thread. Until yesterday I was a 'no real difference' voter but when using the 'tweaked' site on an Ipad mini I would like to downgrade my vote significantly.

Another un-improvement. It works if you enter Oct 2014 as the end date. It used to do this automatically.

I know its straying off the subject of this thread somewhat but I've just had the best part of a thousand pounds matched at 6.9 % in the 1 year bond - it'll be interesting to see if it sticks. Had to cancel some of my 6.4's that had been patiently queuing in the 5 year market for a few days with a lot of frantic scrolling up and down on the new look site before it all got gobbled up!
I've only dabbled in the 1 year market recently but it does seem to go through huge swings with very infrequent matches but very large when they do happen. I can't believe these are retail loans as I've seen several hundred thousand swallowed in one go on occasions. Can any one explain?

6.9%?
That's an even bigger jolt than the very sudden unexpected increase to around £700,000 available orders at 6.2% in 5 year early this morning. Did one person/entity dump in an extra £400K or so?
