In addition, we have changed the order of the columns so that the 'Loan Value' is displayed before the 'Asset Value' which I think makes more sense. Yes it does - keep up the good work Ed

I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I log in I'm directed to the loans page rather than my account page.
It's like when you log in to your internet banking and you're faced with adverts for their great new deals on pet insurance rather than what dosh you've actually got in your account - it's tacky and annoying.
It would make more sense, to me at least, when first logging on to find out how much money you've got in your account rather than seeing what the latest trinkets and baubles on offer are.

Evening Caratacus, From the homepage on the website, you can either click on the button 'Loans' which will take you to the loans page, however if you click on the button 'My Account' then you go straight to your account details. We have actually received feedback from users, some of which wanted to see the loans first and some their account position which is why we put both options there to try and cater for everyone. (Originally there was 'Login' or 'Register). Let me know if you think there is a better approach. Kind regards, Ed

Maybe it's me that's doing something wrong. Thanks anyway Ed.

As far as I can say, the Folks at MT are doing a really good job. Quick to respond to questions, both on here and in their site development. Besides isn't part of the fun, getting to know a site. After all the site does need to meet all types of members needs and likes. So I am more than happy to sacrifice the odd 'click' or two, if it means the site works for everyone.. Ed, keep up the good work

All the best, Ed. Out of interest, we are in the process of finalising the IT development work for Phase 2. Would SMS text messages be useful as a way of notifying users of new loans or would this be too intrusive? Would appreciate any thoughts on this? Kind regards, Ed.

IMO - Yes it would Ed as with the finer weather coming (I hope) then there is a tendency for less time in front of the screen and more time doing possibly more healthy activities. Please ensure though that if/when you go down this road then you are in a position to keep it going. There is at least one other platform that started the same thing - good idea. Problem was it became a bit hit and miss so not good for them on the PR front. Just my thoughts.

Why can't I register if I don't have a mobile phone?

Thank you for the rapid reply. My mobile phone is used for emergency use and is switched off 90% of the time so would be of no value to you. I am at home a lot of the time, so landline is always available (with answer machine). I shall continue my application. edit. Oh! All reg details wiped because "user name must be more than five letters " ... I'd used eight, (**** ****) but the space couldn't have countedcso it was read as four! I'll try again later. edit again ... Right! Done. I'll dip my toe in for a while and see how thngs go, though I'm wary of gold prices and valuations.

Ed, the SMS proposal certainly gets my vote especially if it can be sent a short time prior to the launch of a loan (rather an indeterminate period AFTER as on another platform).Thanks.
