Thanks for the support, seems like the 'extra column/per loan' seems to be the best option. No doubt it would take most of us a few years to code it, but The Shuang will have it ready for tomorrow. As for 4pm access speed no problems this end, these things tend to not be an issue for X users and then suddenly become a major problem at X+1 users, straws and camels etc. On behalf of the forum I am sure you will all join me in letting MoneyThing feel confident that should we notice any future slowdown at loan launch time we will be sure to feed that back via the forum. Those of us who have historically used SS will know that the forum can be quite vocal over ensuring high quality feedback is given to platform owners regarding IT issues.

Alternatively, just have an extra column added to the 'my loans' table with a toggle switch for each loan part accessible all the time, a la Funding Secure. No slow-down noticed here. I was thinking the same, that the Funding Secure system works very well. An extra column on "My Loans" with a toggle that you can set to "Renew" (or leave off) at whatever stage you like so that your indication is ready and waiting if / when the loan becomes available for renewal. That's my vote too. I like the FS process. It's simple, easy to use and flexlible

Yes please, but on the proviso that there are NEW loans as well, otherwise unless you started several months back it's very difficult to get any new money into MT.
Else you might well alienate any new business and then you are in a downward spiral!

Afternoon, Thank you for your comments. I don't think it would be too difficult for The Shaung to code a global 'opt-in box for all renewals only'. I would appreciate some feedback on this forum from those who might disagree with this proposal before deciding whether to implement or not. As an aside, did anyone experience any noticeable slow-down on the platform at 4pm? I only ask because we had a noticeable increase in traffic (108 users & 650 page-views per minute). Kind regards, Ed I deposited some funds this morning, went on at 4pm, got as far as choosing an amount to invest and then it crashed waiting for confirmation, repeatedly tried to get back into site, but couldn't. When I managed to log in again, loan was 100% filled. Am using a mobile connection while on holiday in Brittany, could be the problem. Did withdraw the funds and already back in my bank account, stunning service.

Yes to global opt in
4pm, very fast, Mrs Bobo and I both like the fact we can log in at 15.59.00, make the deal and have afternoon tea on at 16.00.30. So opening the loan exactly at 16:00:00 is a boon over other portals.

Yes, a global switch and the extra column for fine tuning prior to the loan going to pending, please. By tomorrow, naturally!

I don't know where MT buys it milk either, £1 buying only 1L, I get 4pints or 2.272 L for 89p from the supermarket.

Surely the solution is obvious, lose the chickens and buy some cows. I was at a business conference in December last year and if memory serves you can pick up a second hand cow for as little as 5 magic beans.

Mmmm, I pay about £1 for a litre of milk.
That gets me organic milk and the farmer a decent return.
Happy me, happy farmer, happy cow.
