I tried to invest in the loan made available this morning using my iphone, but all attempts to select the loan from 'Loans Needing Investment' resulted in my phone wanting to 'dial' the loan no. rather than display the details. Subsequent investigation revealed that I was able to select and display all 'Current Active Investments' successfully but 'Loans Needing Investment' still refuses to perform as expected. Anyone else with a similar experience? The problem is that you can no longer open the loan by clicking on the loan number - there is a button at the end of the line called something like (from memory, without logging on again!) "VIEW/INVEST IN LOAN", and it's that you need to click on - caught me out a couple of times when I was checking out the new site on Sunday, but I've got used to it now. What's unhelpful is that the loan numbers are coloured which makes you think they will take you there. They should either put the links back there, or not colour them really.

Website may have improved, chance of getting a share of any of these loans unfortunately has not. <snip> Only if/when FS allow pre-bids or you have the time to watch your screen and refresh every few minutes. I think they heard me  Tomorrows loan listing is going live at a set time. Sychronize watches  EDIT Just realised I dont have a watch - synchronize smartphones

Same story for me.
So much for the stress testing.
I do hope the stress testing for banks was more effective than this!

If they carry on like this they will need to stress test their investors

I was signed in to FS on Firefox when the loan went live and unable to access it, tried Chrome and IE 11 and couldn’t even access the FS site.
Looks like the “load test” was more techy bullsh*t to me.
