When the copy of the live database was taken to use as a test version were negative availabilities left? There are none showing in the available loans but when I put up £5000 of PBL020 on the SM it only showed £4856 available so I guess that it was £144 oversold at the time.
Edit: ignore this

Are you going to move away from BACS deficit?
I cannot see a Deposit Amount £ _________ Deposit Button that was in the old website.

Allowing for the fact that the data is 2 weeks old, I can only see half the live loans and half my loans. Does anyone else have this issue?

Is two step verification being implemented instead of the security questions? "Devices must be reauthorised every two weeks" ? I am not sure about this. Comments, anyone?

Of course we wont really be buying anything, just testing the system on the test database, which is a copy of the live database taken a couple of weeks ago. Stress test will only be worthwhile if the beta site is on production sized infrastructure. Yes for general loading purposes, but I have in mind the flaw in the old system which allowed negative availability when two people bought the last bit at almost the same time.

On my browser (Chrome, viewed at normal 100%), there is very little space remaining to view loans without scrolling down because the fixed text bars at the top are so wide. [NB. this is a problem on several other platforms too!].
Could these text bars be made rather narrower so that more of the list can be viewed without scrolling?

Negative availabilities were removed prior to beta release. Please feel free to stress test and try and replicate the negative availabilities bug from old site.

Are you going to move away from BACS deficit? I cannot see a Deposit Amount £ _________ Deposit Button that was in the old website. The new site does not utilise auto-deposits or BACS deficits. If your available balance is £0.00 and an investment is made this will create a negative available balance which requires either a deposit, or loan part sale, in order to resolve.

Reauthorised simply means it will send you an SMS with a code that you will have to enter during the login process. It will also use this verification if you attempt to login from an unknown device.

My initial reaction is that it does not seem to be an improvement on the existing site, in fact the screen layouts are worse. There's far too much white space. With the existing site the live loans are all on one screen.

Please put interest on the Live Loanparts page. Ideally, interest paid to date and interest accrued (i.e. from the start of the month but not yet paid). There is too much whitespace on that page and plenty of room for more columns of data. The way the "Live Loanparts" page is laid out is a huge improvement, but I agree that having both "Interest Paid To Date" and "Interest Accrued" (in the month) in the high-level loan summary view and the individual loan-part drop-downs would be better still. This makes much more sense than the old "Total Interest To Date", some of which is already paid and some accrued (yet to be paid). But there needs to be Totals at the bottom of the page too!

I can't seem to find a schedule of my expected repayments. including dates, loans, principal and interest This should also have 'export to excel'
Note for all excel download offers. Dates MUST be recognizable by all excel products - No text dates please

I have had a proper look now and the various My Loans subpages could really be improved.
1. There is far too much whitespace in general 2. Clicking on a loan to get the little blue box is frustrating and should be removed completely 3. Live Loanparts should show the following columns in the same table in one view: [Photo - PBL Name - Drawdown - Start Date - Remaining - Rate - Amount - Interest Paid - Interest Accrued - Sell Button] ideally with a nice total at the bottom and with sortable column headers. 4. Repaid Loanparts should follow a similar pattern 5. Sold Loanparts illustrates the problem best - there is no info available at all be default apart from the name and you have to click on each PBL in turn to find out any info whatsoever. Very frustrating for users.
Mostly looking good but tell your designers to stop sacrificing functionality for aesthetics.
