I've been out the office most of the day today but will pick this up again tomorrow. User-configurable would be an improvement; the ability to restrict it to a server-side logout and disable the client-side redirect would be ideal. The sooner the better, although I'm sure it's boosting the daily login count nicely at the moment. In the interim, has anyone worked out where the timer is implemented, and whether it's possible to defeat it by AdBlocking the .js file, doing something with greasemonkey, or similar? I'd rather not set myself up to be permenantly logged in via auto-refresh, but I'm getting pretty p'd off with all my damn tabs being redirected to login. We don't really track daily logins, we look at unique logins and active users in terms of investments made. Page loads reset the timer (which is tracked by a timeout on the session data in Redis). There's a websocket opened on each page via socket.io that checks the TTL (time to live) on the session via our API, rechecks when it thinks it's going to expire, and then checks every second until it does expire. This gives an accurate to the second countdown of the session, auto correcting itself if a page load occurs in another tab. I haven't had a chance to look into making this configurable yet as there have been higher priority items to deal with along with some new features and other changes that will be launching soon. One thing I can do fairly easily (but still requires time!) is tell the system that certain API calls should refresh that session, so the handful of in page actions that use the API will also extend the session. This is fairly high on my list but I'm being pulled in several directions at the moment.

If I have multiple AC tabs open -- Dashboard, MLIA statement, list of Targeted loans, plus maybe a particular loan's page, for instance -- and I'm working mostly on one of them (or even using Reload Every on one of the pages), it doesn't always stop one of the other tabs from reverting to the login screen. Does anyone else see what I'm seeing? If one tab is acting like you're logged in, do the other tabs act the same way? When one tab reverts to the login page, do the others tabs always do likewise?

Assuming we're talking about one of the London Law's, I didn't get any either.  There's 85 people in the queue with funds waiting to be deployed. : Is there any chance that this sort of data could be made available to us, either automatically or upon request? If I need to raise some money, it would be very useful to know which of my holdings are most likely to sell quickly. As it is, I have to experiment by making small bits available in order to test which loans are in demand and which aren't. Would anyone else find such info useful? Perhaps what we need is the ability to choose which data we'd like to see on a given display, so someone who wants to know this info could select that variable, and someone who isn't doesn't have to have their view complicated by displaying info they're not interested in. For instance, I'd like to be able to see the repayment day for my loans so I can tell which ones are about to turn accrued interest into a credit to my account. This would also allow more efficient use of wide-screen monitors -- on mine, my AC windows/tabs often have a lot of empty space to the right and left of the various tables.

Back to shadow bids
1 I'm a bit miffed that I sent in the money (ie settled the shadow bid) for Leics care home a while ago but it's still not made its way into my Loan Book
2 I gather settled shadow bids don't show up in the dashboard until they have drawndown. If this only stays like this for the next few weeks until all the shadow bids work their way through the system so be it; can you confirm that from that time on all moneys we have with AC will appear on the dashboard?
3 Any chance of a grand total on the dashboard please?

We'll try and get a grand total on the dashboard this week. As bids of any sort become loan units they will show on the dashboard as it stands.

I'll pass this on to the front end team again.

I'll add this in to our to do list. It's likely to be a couple of weeks before we can turn our attention to it though as the database query as it stands takes a couple of seconds to run, which is too slow to do on each page load. We'll have to cache the figure and show it as an approximation.

I'd like to suggest a new filter on the loan book which allows us to find newly available loans (the equivalent of the old primary market)

Colin, I know it's late on Friday so please put this in the book for next week. .. The Popover, can we have some functionality over it (I mean control it) as it seems too big (especially as there's also the Nav-bar there too!) and once you know what the columns are you don't need it all the time. I appreciate others working on iPads etc might need to see it, but not everyone all the time... Thanks! Hi Ton, There are various popovers used throughout the site. Could you be more specific on which you are referring to or perhaps provide a screenshot? Many thanks.

Sorry, can I add to that Colin, I'm constantly searching different Loan no.s to find out what's being referred to, such as someone say, "such & such loan 95" I'm wondering can the search function be easier to find, neither can you make your own shortcut to it? The search and filter layout and functionality for loans has been reworked and will be going live later this week. This should address the issues you mention.

Colin what'shappening with the Worc's deal #114? One shadow bid for £20 hasn't been settled, all the other shad-bids for 114 have been. Is this still the case or has it worked itself out since your post?

chris: Bug Report
Do**** (#120) has just drawn down and has appeared on the list of loans. It is showing its Term Remaining to be "13 of 12 Months". Obviously a very minor problem, but it ought to be fixed.

Is this still the case or has it worked itself out since your post? All seems to be well today with Worc 114... Thanks for your input. With regard to the pop-over I'm thinking of the one that comes up whenever you look at a any screen full of loans it shows the popover shows the column titles. For the regular user most of the columns are quite clear without titles such as, "the name of the loan" & "ann. rate" etc and are therefore redundant. The only titles that are useful are "holding" and "target" to my mind. I understand that newbies need this or maybe iPad users, but it's often covering up the loan I'm looking at as only four loans are visible at a time. I think I have 70 odd loans and this is expected to grow. If we could sort by the column titles that would be useful, by this I mean, that we can choose to list the loans by ann. rate OR list them by accrued interest etc etc. Besides that I'd like to have a columns that showed the Outstanding Capital and one that showed if there was any 'recent activity'. Lastly A**** loan No.38 is displayed as if it were a reverse auction with a spread of interest rates when in fact it isn't AFAIK. The rates shown are 11.2%-11.25% I think it should be just 11.25% P.S. I can never remember what these symbols  each stand for, they're on loan pages too.

P.S. I can never remember what these symbols each stand for, they're on loan pages too. If you 'hover' over them -- I haven't a clue how you do that on a touchscreen device -- you should get a pop-up/tool tip/hint indicating what the security is -- personal guarantee, corporate guarantee, first charge, second charge, first debenture, etc. -- and giving further details.
