Marketplace/Live Loans display seems to have changed (order of columns being one obvious change), with the right-hand end of the page off the screen and no horizontal scroll-bar. Means I need to shrink my Firefox display to max of 80%.
Marketplace/Repaid Loans display has the two comment links (Standard and IFISA) being truncated within the webpage rather than by the end of my screen.
I've had to shrink it to 70% to fit (also on Firefox), and what's happened to the statements? I've sold something in MLIA but haven't a scooby what as no amount of screen shrinking displays the full details of the lengthy line of text that doesn't view to the loan name or number. Presumably I have to download the spreadsheet just to find out?
This is getting a bit beyond a joke. Perhaps AC should go back to the standard version and spend some time sorting out the beta version before rolling it back out, hopefully bug free? Whatever happened to fit for purpose?
Here's the viewable part of one of my MLA transaction log entries: "06/05/2020, 12:09 Sale of loan part 360010362 (new id 360012587) for 0.0000000000000000000980000000000000595795 GBP with a 2% Discount (0.0000000000"
As you suggest, no loan number, no horizontal scroll bar but I discovered if you click your cursor somewhere in the entry and keep the right-tab button pressed, it acts as a scroll-right button.

Thanks, presumably that's chris's idea of a super simple elegant design feature  .

I mis-stated earlier that holdings totals on the 'marketplace' screen are not correct. They were correct (for what they were recording) which all all account ex Access (if you select that option) whereas I assumed the totals were merely the MLA (standard and ISA) combined. You get discontinued Investment Account (PSA GBBA2) holdings attributed in there also. This is not a good idea IMO however since we cannot selectively trade those holdings - they are more akin to Access-type producrts - and this introduces a distorted picture. Hopefully the team at AC will improve the filter before too long?

I've recieved a 'we want your opinion' regarding a Vote for B******d P****s L*d - the Vote button in the e-mail just takes me to the dashboard, I can't see the Voting screen anywhere.

I used AC's Live Chat to ask "Are the developers aware that they've messed up several of the displays? For example, I'm currently looking at Marketplace/Liveloans and the display no longer fits on the page!. Only way to display it is to shrink my (Firefox) browser display size to 70% of normal. The changes came in today and it's not just me that has been affected."
Answer: "Hi cb25, yes they are aware of this and they are working on it as we speak. The Lender Team also faced this earlier today and we have raised it internally. Many apologies, we're on it"

0.0000000000000000000980000000000000595795 I've just looked it up. Wikipedia tells me the prefixes stop at 10-24 (yocto).
This is actually 10-40 pounds. What is the point, it's going to add up to the lifetime of several universes before these have any relevance wouldn't it

It's actually ~10 -19, but point taken. At 100% interest per year it would take 100 million billion years to earn 1p.

Still so much broken functionality, poor layout and failed usability on this Beta site. Really hope it gets pushed back again.
just one outstanding issue, by example;
Filtering by "Your Interest" doesn't work, "Interest" Tags don't display consistently where set on loans in the lists, some do, some don't.
Also you really need a "Not Set" / "Set" option on this filter as per the "Instructed" / "Not Instructed" options for the "Instruction" filter.
OK, and another one... When you select MLA "Browse Loans" it doesn't take you to your MLA Loans or "My Loans" it goes to "Live Loans" Who's testing this internally?
And finally and most worryingly
It still isn't listing all the loans you have a financial interest in !
MLA doesn't show all instructed loans as per legacy site and doesn't show loans where you have outstanding accured interest but no current holding.

"Accrued interest" and "next payment" columns now restored to the loan lists but that's reintroduced the issue of having to scroll right to see all the columns (using a bar that's right at the bottom of the page) which is impractical (for PC users). A sensible maximum width of the loan name column needs setting to fix this (along with introduction of text wrap or abbreviated loan names), or at least an option added to allow selected columns to be hidden or reordered so users can choose how they are going to be inconvenienced. Better but...... ......... my MLA list doesn't include loans with zero holding, but which still have accrued interest...... ..........and there's still the inconvenience of having to scroll to the botom of the page to access the CSV download button.

Or, to put it in perspective, it would take over 7 million times the life of the universe so far to earn that penny in interest. This lockdown thing is definitely making work for idle hands

As you suggest, no loan number, no horizontal scroll bar but I discovered if you click your cursor somewhere in the entry and keep the right-tab button pressed, it acts as a scroll-right button.
Scroll bar should be at the bottom if you scroll down. Seem to have turned off the text wrapping as its worse than it was yesterday. And if your in #981 there is more off the page than on due to the entry being to more than 100dp. Its so loan the actual number only just fits on the page

Edit: I wanted to sort on the date 'Last updated' to see the loans updated today, so I
-scroll down to see the horizontal scroll bar, use it to scroll right to bring the 'Last Updated' column into view,
-scroll back to the top to click on 'Last Updated', sorts it into oldest update first which is NOT what I want, and the display resets so 'Last updated' is hidden,
-scroll back down to see the horizontal scroll bar, use it to scroll right to bring the 'Last Updated' column into view (again), -scroll back to the top to click on 'Last Updated', now sorts it into newest update first which IS what I want, but the display resets so 'Last updated' is hidden,
-scroll down to see the horizontal scroll bar, use it to scroll right to bring the 'Last Updated' column into view, -scroll back to the top to see the loans updated today...phew -click on one of the loans updated today to see the details, exit out of that loan, and the display resets so 'Last updated' is hidden again!
Unbelievable (except I do believe they've done it)

I noticed they are going to turn off the old version on 13th May.
I hope they keep it on longer, I can't find a lot of things on this new version!
Eg there is no legacy style tax statement on the new one, or if there is I can't find it.
