Thank you - that solves the first thing. I hadn't realised that you had to hover over the 3 lines to be able to pick it up and move it - I'd only managed to get the toggle on/off bit to work before.

I have two votes running, both with <£1 invested. I click on vote and I get to the vote page but have nowhere to vote. (1 of these is #808 where I have already voted)

Can anyone get the 'Search' box to work? I can't. need to click enter for it to search, doesn't do it automatically like old site. Miss the 'interactive' nature of the old search - it isn't obvious that an 'Enter' is required. Also, it seems very 'laggy' when typing or backspacing - which considering it doesn't appear to be doing anything until Enter is pressed, is surprising. (Presumably, 'stuff' is actually going on in the background even if it isn't apparent on the screen) Hopefully tweaks will get it functioning as per the 'legacy' version which, for now, I'm reverting to when searching.

For a 'Trading Suspended' loan like #132, the loan loads in the legacy view showing the 'Overview' tab with others greyed out and padlocked, which is expected.
On the Beta site, I just get the loading 'cube-grid-of-death' and nothing loads.

chris The beta site looks to have a 10,000 row limit on CSV downloads. Just checked on the legacy site and it allowed a calendar year to date download of circa 22,000 rows. Given the 100s of fractional penny transactions a single loan instruction can generate the 10,000 limit will be a massive hindrance and a big step backwards from the functionality available on the legacy site. also the csv download is now called "statement.csv" no matter which account you are looking at (it used to be export-statement- what-account- timestamp.csv" which was more useful). Order of the .csv has gone from forward-chronological (earliest at top, latest/newest at bottom) to match the onscreen version (latest/newest at top) At start-of-day, accrued interest figure for 1st May dropped (as usual, expected) by a chunk equivalent to a 5.5%pa payout on 30 day Access account balance. Pity it only turned into a 3.75%pa payout later that day. Stuart indicates that this "missing" interest is still being accrued, but not on my dashboard it isn't, was this intentional? ETA: Also the dashboard "Total interest paid ever" figure is not the same as the amount you've actually paid me (ever) -- is there any reason why this should be different?

I think both you and I could see a "reminder" at the top of the page saying how many votes we had to look at, I've voted in both the current ones, and for me the reminder has disappeared - great!
Also there's a new column titled "Selected Option" on this page where we vote:
and in that column I can see if I voted A or B.
So I'm happy now.

Could we please have a 4th button in the MLA box (on the Accounts Overview page) that navigates to My Loans directly, rather than having to click Browse Loans each time and then change the selection to My Loans? , any chance of adding this extra "My Loans" button within the MLA box? I appreciate I can get there via other routes but it's needlessly fiddly on a phone!

How would that differ from what 'View Loan Holdings' displays, from clicking on the '...' top right of the 'Manual Lending Account (Standard/IFISA)' boxes?

BETA SITE AND LEGACY SITEI believe the £2.44m from loan #957 may have just been distributed ... In the MLA interest amounts being claimed against lender fees are not being shown remotely correctly. On the legacy account there’s NO mention whatsoever in statements. On the beta site there’s a null transaction (null amount) with the following type narrative. [ Claimed Lender Fee Of £10.738279274984286046657481125360968588848063 From Interest Payment Of £10.738279274984286046657481125360968588848063 For Loan xxxx Developments Ltd - Additional Development Funding (957) ] A correct way to show this needs TWO transactions. - a posting amount as per normal interest transaction for the interest amount (positive) against the appropriate loan #number - a second posting claiming all or some of it for the lender fee as a negative amount. To do otherwise is very poor accounting and very poor reporting. Could it be that doing it this way avoids the payment being liable to tax?

Yes, that's right. If they paid you the 'gross' interest you would be liable for income tax on it, and the lender fee would not be tax deductible. FC do it as two transactions (for legacy reasons), but they re-defined the fee as a charge on the borrower, not a lender fee - so that it was never yours, really.

chris The MLIA transaction statements are currently nonsense and totally unusable. According to my tax statement I have receive 67p interest today but I couldn't tell you where it comes from as according to my transactions statement its all gone in fees! Its not even possible to assume the entries for fees are actually interest as the totals add up to more than the entry on the tax statement. And then there is this Claimed Lender Fee of £0.0477492427851335830325733977098774592226856129032258064516129032258064516129032258064516129032258064516129032258064516129 from Interest payment of £0.0477492427851335830325733977098774592226856129032258064516129032258064516129032258064516129032258064516129032258064516129 for loan (981) Pretty sure I have been shortchanged by the rounding on that one  Edit. Possibly just fixed as I now appear to have interest payments and no fees. Can someone correct the entries before 17.18. Please can someone sort out the screen display width, I shouldn't have to scroll across to read the figures. Still waiting for any evidence of the improved functionality of beta as everything I do is far harder or impossible compared to the legacy site

Beta site adds nothing for me over the old site plus I still don’t have the outstanding fees available on my dashboard. This can’t be a good use of time and money for the platform surely?

Suspiciously little activity on the MLA SM today, especially given the large loan repayment

(I am using 90 day on my ISa account tho') Totally baffling ... Brian
