Has this been through a beta testing group first? People who click on a link to go to a beta-testing site ARE the beta-testing group.
... and nobody bothers with alpha testing any more!

I really like the Dashboard page.
However, the Manual Lending pages are very unpleasant to use. Far too much horizontal scrolling is involved, thanks to the poor layout and a plethora of columns. Has anybody at Assetz actually tried using the Beta site on a smaller screen?
Also, I can't find the Feedback button mentioned in a recent Assetz email.

The team have made some tweaks to the page to try and help. Happy to receive more feedback.

Still feels like browsing loans is a step backwards due to having to scroll left to right on my phone at least. Doesn't happen on the current website. I rarely use anything other than my phone these days, but may be in the minority.

Loans view page now only miss out the far right column on my laptop without scrolling right. Scroll right only reveals ( ifisa or standard loan heading ) soooooo soooooo much better. If i reduce page to 90% size it all fits, but getting too small to read print.The loan notes seem to work for all loans (unlike the A site), but they appear as a long list format, which is easier to read, but makes the page so long to scroll down. Also the loan instruction features seem dead and wont change from pause to enable ect. Customisable features like Alfa site would still be good, as i don't really want keep scrolling past all the nice graphs etc. Also no profile picture, which is a minor thing, but i liked it.Home page top of the page headings MyLoans/LiveLoans/Pipeline/Loans/Upcoming Loans/Votes (3)
ect would be better if a bit more bold and maybe a splash of colour on any with a issue.eg Votes (3)
Still prefer A site, but might play a bit more with beta now its not a scrolling exercise and see. Was a 2/10, now a 4 or a week 5 out of ten.

"View loan holdings" now displays an empty page for me! Was working last time I tried a few days ago.

The new 'hover' functionality for the Your Holding and Units Available columns is very useful too (although I don't think that showing the unrounded totals as well is necessary).
In the same way that the Loan Name is now anchored horizontally, please could the column headings be anchored vertically? Also, a horizontal slider bar at the top of the table would be a handy addition.
Looking at the individual loan pages, I'd suggest that the Your Holdings section is not set to 'manual lending only' by default.

Just asked AC if the Beta site will show outstanding accrued interest, the following was their reply, is there a way of calculating this or will it not be possible to see?
"It does not appear that this is visible. A record of interest paid is visible."

We've just made an update to the beta site to address the accrued interest figure. The accrued interest statistics can be shown on your dashboard through the new settings button at the top. You can also now re-order both statistics and sections as well as hide areas you are not interested in including graphs.
With the ability to manage the statistics on the dashboard better, we would be interested in knowing what other statistics and graph options you would like to see going forward.

1) The box titled "Interest Paid This Month So Far" in the Accounts Dashboard section appears actually to give me the total interest I've ever earned. Either that or it's been a dramatically better month than expected ....
Perhaps connected to this, the box titled "Total Interest Paid" says I've earned £0.00 !!
2) Stats wise, how about a summary box showing % of invested funds in active loans, temporarily paused loans (eg. for a vote, tranche drawdown) and defaulted loans?
3) And can we PLEASE have an option in Account Settings to indicate how many loans per page we wish to view by default (I always want either ALL or the biggest number available, 250 currently). I groaned when the very first thing I had to do on entering "My Loans" was again to change the default display setting from 50 per page!!!!!!!
Edit: Aaaaaaaargh, it's worse than before: the loans-per-page display setting reverts to 50 every time I change between Live Loans / My Loans / Upcoming Loans views. At least the old site remembers what you reset it to for the whole session.

The Beta site now even seems to remember preferred view setting across sessions.

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?

Also, some means permanently to hide / cancel the yellow banner message at the top once we've read it (the current one about slow Access Account withdrawals will be there for a long time and it's of no relevance to me).

I've just found the new "Cash and Investments Statement", which could become a really useful tool for understanding and reconciling account balances and returns.
However, currently it seems only to report on "all accounts" combined, which greatly limits its usefulness. Please can you look at adding an option to look only at specific accounts / subsets of accounts?
Also, aside from "Interest Earned", it currently lumps together everything else into a single line called "Deposits/Withdrawals/Adjustments". Can you please look at breaking this out into the sub-categories that would permit a proper account reconciliation, including:
- Cash Deposits
- Cash Withdrawals
- Trading capital gains (ie. buying discounted loan parts)
- Trading capital losses (ie. selling loan parts at a discount)
- Crystallised capital losses from defaulted loans
- Promotional Bonuses
- Referral Bonuses
- ?

Have you seen the "..." in the top right corner of the panel to open the dropdown list? This has a "view loan holdings" option.
