Well the red letter day on the calendar has arrived and the clock is ticking before it gets renamed as OPUD I should have kept quiet, the link was swiftly disabled and the curtains drawn on my secret window so I can't monitor the frantic dash to the finish line. We are just completing various migrations like admin notes etc... its looking good for later today, but we will see.

In the interests of fair play ablrate could you put a delay on the P1 sales, no desire to sell on that loan part myself but others may want to take the par slot. Edit 133 from memory.

Yes, ABL is miserably failing on sound engineering side Some of them are pushed to the max, but this one is about 10dB below the standard. However, it was just about enough volume for me in headphones to hear the spoken words. The visual part was much more difficult (I have 24" monitor and even tried reading glasses)... Overall, looks like a fairly simple system and should be easy to get used to. I liked this new feature - don't need to put expiry date for selling anymore

I didn't struggle with the sound - just turned the speakers up! Not really sure that helped as I still don't see why these changes are necessary or especially helpful to investors. If there were a massive number of loans(?) instead of the 57 current ones in play - clearly the intention is to move that way - I guess there might be some merit in the additional complexity. Of course, I may have all this wrong as I couldn't make head nor tails of the screens; sadly, there isn't a button to press - at this end at least - to fix that.
Anybody else spotted the problem with shifting loans between accounts? Say from an ordinary account into an IFISA? Seems to me that the new approach will stop that or make it tricky at least. That may be intentional, of course.
Can't wait for 10am....

I am away at the moment and not with my usual set up... the speakers on my system are crazy loud, so I thougth it was OK. But your feedback is awesome, I literally had the microphone set to 10dB below standard! I will turn it up and replace the video.

Nope... you can go into your IFISA... open the loan exchange... Switch to standard...open the loan exchange... and trade between the two.... massively easier than currently

When I click on the loan exchange icon it says “please alow pop ups for this site”. How do I do that on the iPhone?.
First feedback , I have to allow pop ups for it to work at all. Second feedback, much less easy to use on iPhone.

I've not kept up with developments but on opening the loan exchange for the first time I have some superficial suggestions. Apologies if these have already been raised etc... - default to display all loans (number of loans to display filter has gone) - an old chestnut! - add column sort - expand the filters to include stuff specific to your account (e.g. holding, your bids/offer) - reduce the blank space between loans - reduce the need for scrolling - reduce number of rows per loan. Currently 4 rows but can you reduce to 3 or even 2 to be able to fit more loans in the same area.
I've got to say that my first impressions were oh no yet another interface to learn but that's not fair. It looks smart and no doubt brings improvements. The most important aspect being that ABL are still developing - it's always a tad concerning when easy to fix bugs remain in place on a platform!
