I had successful bids on 8247 A which finished on Thursday 16 October. On Thursday 23 October it was still not accepted. Then it disappeared from My Watchlist and from Summary/My Bids. I have tried searching for it on the SM - nothing. How else can I find out what happened to it? The Watchlist says "They're remembered here until ... you decide to stop watching them." Any one else seen this behaviour?

I was out of that one, but had bid so I can tell you the auction page is 43443, and is still there. Apparently the term changed so the auction was rejected. Why it fell off your watchlist I have no idea .. Maybe you accidentally hit the remove button on the watchlist page which I've done several times on my tablet.
I assume you know how to get the auction page from the number (easiest to open another loan and then edit the URL).

Thanks for the number and info. I'm quite capable of senior moments but in this case I was keeping a very careful eye on it as it was one week since the auction finished. I have tried searching for it in My Loans/Rejected but that table has 14000 rows with no easy route to these particular bids; I've tried to download the view but get Bad Gateway.
Normal behaviour is for a rejected loan in the watchlist to have the % filled box reduced to 0 so it turns white. Instead, it just disappeared.

Yep, that's the normal behaviour alright. Since I had this one off my watchlist, I can't say if the same happened to all, or just you.
Why, oh why, can't FC use the same damn number for the loan and the auction (8247, for instance)!?! A whole 'nother lookup table we could well do without, and unless you keep the historic data you can never find the auction page again, even if you are "allowed" to visit it. 8>.

I agree. And why can't we sort on loan id etc etc.
I had thought of looking for it by trial and error (repeatedly editing the page number). But I don't know if the page number series shadows the id numbers or dances to a different tune.
Perhaps the page number is allocated to each loan enquiry. This gives a ratio of about 1:5 (8247/43443) for conversion of enquiries into loan applications which sounds credible.

I have a lookup table back to about 4500. Before that, you can find them IFF there are parts for sale. Yes, maybe it is by enquiry number, although why you'd even load a webpage with the other 4/5 I don't know. The new format 'loan page' (since withdrawn again) was actually using the 7xxx number for bid information, but still using 4xxxx for the main page.

Are you saying that the other 4/5 are visible to us? I could understand a use for them on their intranet.

Not visible to us afaik, if they actually exist at all. Pity, would be fun to see what a 'non starter' looks like, compared to what gets offered.
