Not surprisingly, nothing happened when I clicked the 'Live Help is Online' button either.

and how long it takes for £10k of bids to be placed. ...longer than I first thought! And at this rate it will take until tomorrow -- at best!

This forum's stayed up though. Well done everyone  ! Starting to get fed up with these smaller P2P sites though. Ended up withdrawing unlent money out of SS last week. It's probably better just to stick money in RS and FC as it gets lent out so quickly without having to faff around  . |

Well, I decided to sit it out this time and only just tried to log in just now to see how things had gone - like the rest of you I can't even get into the site now, 18 minutes after the 1pm event. Very disappointing indeed. I did expect it, which is why I didn't bother at 1pm, and I hope this knocks the time announcements on the head until there are enough regular new loans to mean there won't be frantic attempts on any new loan. This would mean quite a lot of new loans, because the number of lenders has doubled in recent months.

They've had enough time to sort out this platform and nothing meaningful has happened. The platform is still not robust and not allowing pre-bids just makes a mockery of the whole thing. Whoever did the re-write should be shot!!! It's their business so how they run it is up to them. It's my money and where I decide to invest is up to me. So I won't be bothering anymore with them. Once my investments have repaid then I'll simply close the account. There are more professional platforms around.

Well, I've actually got into the loan at last, but the amount to invest list is all zeros Edit: and the £50 is not shown as belonging to any bidder |

This was a test which they failed miserably! only £50 invested so far apparently

Ah words fail... So a short review of the UK fastest growing financial sector: TC - £1k minimum per loan, excessive charges for selling on the SM. FC all kinds of software problems,wrong reconciliation, the system can't cope well with the bidding at the crucial last minutes. FK - looks like the late payments rate is rising steadily, lack of investment opportunities. SS - concerns about the amount one is prepared to lend to a single company - the platform itself. FS - dripping £50s in small auctions if lucky to see them, problems with software. AC ? Great problems with the bridging loans, investors very likely to lose capital on some of them.

First off - apologies. This is a brand new site on a brand new server.
Prior to launch we carried out testing but it was not possible to fully sumulate such a high load condition, which is specifically why we advised a time for this loan to be posted.
Although the site has not crashed - it is still up and running - the effect is for access to time-out.
We are currently increasing, on the fly, the amount of CPU and memory resource to the server. Unfortunately this takes time to implement and, in the meantime, the queue continues to grow as more people try to access the site.
As advised in the email we have been monitoring the site and the records will enable us to better identify the key bottlenecks and resolve them for the future.
Again - apolologies - we are doing everything possible to recover the situation An update will be posted as soon as we have more information.

"SUMULATE"  Is that geek speech meaning projected probability of system's ability to add up?  |
