Agree, i must say it's nice to be able to pick and choose on the SM, rather than the bad old days of fastest mouse wins, fingers crossed it might last a while. The one I'm finding rather surprising though is PBL026 - the entire loan is only £350k (which for most loans would make it many times oversubscribed), and yet over £10k is sitting untouched on the SM, with only one purchase today! Yep, its still there, but only 18 days remaining, maybe that's why it's not attracting much interest.

Not a loan that anybody's going to be rushing to, given the updates tab: 1 week ago: Currently negotiating with borrower to repay us. 3 weeks ago: Still in legals for the extension. 1 month ago: Still in legals for the extension.

"Currently negotiating with borrower to repay us." Never like the sound of that.

"Currently negotiating with borrower to repay us." Never like the sound of that. Especially since legals to extend the loan have clearly collapsed. I'm reasonably comfortable with my exposure to it, but I don't think I'd want to risk a second penny.

I'm not invested in this one but SS have clearly stated on the website that 'The loan has not gone live yet' so I think you should be ok as I guess this means they are still holding your capital. Surely couldn't just be another oversight

PBL026 is very close to being repaid, the longer term loans are the most popular, think that's why the DFL loans are hard to get hold of.

You just sent me scurrying to SS to double check, i was into this for over 2k and moved it on when it hit 40 days left, in the days when you could sell on the SM in a matter of minute's.

You will get your money back . SS has the clout. But 7000 investors? Down to 1000 or so. Because most smaller fully invested. Like I said slow the pipe line. Getting more loans is not credibility, get the existing loans to pay in is.

Plenty of loan left, for now. Very frustrating! Edit: And just like magic the box is back again minus the silly pictures. Browser change made no difference. Think yourself lucky i just got this. Tick all box's with a dog....(cannot claim the credit for this one, thanks locotus) Not so lucky. Completely locked out of the SM this morning because I have no box to tick. SS said "nuffing to do wif us guv" and suggested I look at the CAPCHA website, which provided no help at all.

Could it be something to do with your security, ie norton, avg or whatever, maybe pop ups? I would try turning of all your security and then see if it works, other than that all i can offer is the use of my comador 64.

Tried clearing cookies+cache? Use private browsing to try it out?

I assume you have clicked/entered a sum into the amount box. Noticed yesterday that there was no box when page opened but it appeared when I clicked to enter an amount

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll have a fiddle later.

n they get home this evening? There is some buying going on so must be working for some people. Still more than 1m on offer though... Well, I tried all suggestions with no joy. I finally logged on with my phone, no problem. Clearly it's something about this machine but darned if I know what. Just noticed my touch screen is now playing up, too. Yes, still over a million on offer despite what must be something like a million in interest paid out. Maybe people will be reinvesting when they get home this evening. And what's with PBL 026? ""Currently negotiating with borrower to repay us. "" Negotiating? That is surely not how it's supposed to work. Glad I'm not in that one.
