The change may have confused some of the bots - there's a D up for grabs at the moment. No Es yet but yer never know.

Can anyone work out on which field the recently 'improved' Loan Requests page is sorted when first loaded?
It seems not to always be the same and I get the flash of another screen before it comes up. Will this offer us any insights into what the hell these 91 boffins are up to? Is it an anti-bot ploy or two FC systems not so seamlessly interacting with each other? Customer experience is not a high priority... but we knew that.

I wonder how much the 91 cost per annum? Can't help thinking that the numbers may be the problem. If they let go of half of them things would probably get better. Probably they cannot decide which half - does it matter?

I reported the Time Left sort problem to FC this morning and they have logged it with the ProdOps team. Why don't they test these changes after they've made them. Grrr.

"Why don't they test these changes after they've made them."
Possibly because they don't use Friday Cafeteria themselves. They might even be banned from doing any trading on the platform. Reminds of when I tried to talk to someone at Nationwide BS about clumsy aspects of their online banking/Flexaccount - the guy I was put through to had never had or used a Flexaccount himself.

My Sell tab showed the below for a moment, but now it's back to normal.  If you are in Loan Parts and click Sell you get taken to this page - fundingcircle.com/my-account/sell-my-loans as Timmy shows above. However if you are on any other page and click Sell you get taken to - fundingcircle.com/lenders/sell-my-loans which is the normal Sell page. This has been consistent for a week now. J Edit - Altered the urls as they were being converted to links by the forum software This bug has now been fixed. Clicking Sell from anywhere takes you to the correct Sell page. J

Sorry, 88 - forgot there's always two playing Ping-Pong and one rolling the dice. They are probably working out which HTML id code to change today. Maybe the winner of Ping Pong gets to choose! Maybe they'll miss the month out of dates from tomorrow.

Actually, when you come to work it out …. there’s 91 in the technical team, but they need management so with say a 5 to 1 ratio, there’s 15 managers and 4 to manage the managers. 7 are off sick with stress and 8 are on leave. Due to a “technical error” they include 4 who have actually left, so that only leaves 53 to do the work.
Of these, 10 live in the Southern trains area and so are taking “slightly longer than expected” to get into work. 4 are playing ping-pong, plus an umpire, a scorer, one on the bench in case of injury, and 2 trainers. 6 are practising for tonight’s salsa dance and 4 are playing golf. 2 are trying to find where they left the test server as it’s not been used for a few years, but they are sure they’ve got one somewhere. 2 are writing the disaster recovery plan, 1 is calculating whether a disaster would be any worse than the status quo, and one is working out whether the disaster has, in fact, already happened. 6 are trainees and so are only allowed on the more critical parts of the system. 1 is working on the calendar to try to anticipate religious feasts and short Februaries. 2 are liaising with Customer Service to answer our damn-fool questions about why the website doesn’t work.
2 are working on a program to replace the weighted dice because they are getting worn and proving unreliable, coming up with something other than A+ far too often. 1 is working with the FCA on setting up the IFISA (oh no, sorry, he’s one of those who’s left). 2 are writing Post-It notes and 1 is down at Rymans procuring some more (other stationers are available). 1 is working on Load Balancing to ensure that when an E loan is posted, the response time is too slow to give manual bidders a chance. 1 is making the tea. 1 is testing to see which parts of the system have worked well for too long and therefore need fixing.
That leaves one poor chap to do the work, so come on guys, cut the poor fellah some slack and stop complaining about the website - he’s doing his best!

I think the apparently random sequencing on the new "Loan Request Page" is sorted on "Latest bid (record last updated)" so the least loved loans slowly sink to the bottom. Useful, eh?

The FC job vacancies page has 17 IT positions. Are these part of, or an addition to the 91 tech team?
There seems no rhyme nor reason to the minor, pointless and bug ridden changes they're making.
