Yes, good shout, hadnt noticed that valuations are addressed to same person. Running out of letters! I'm sure SS will be happy to stop taking on New Borrowers when you get to Z on your list, saves them having to do all that hard work building the pipeline Thanks for maintaining the excellent overview.

Updates for all loans, where applicable, on site now. Just updating first post. Wow. Lot of cash potentially coming back in the near future. Pipeline might not be as healthy as expected Hmm... not the first time we've been expecting a lot of repayments that take much longer than suggested to materialise, and even manage to turn into something else along the way sometimes. I wouldn't panic just yet . You're doing a great job on the updating, and I'm glad your table will provide a dated reference of what they said when. On balance I think I'd quite like them to keep sending a summary email as well though. Summary email to follow. We are now able to update the loans on an ad hoc basis and this feeds into a summary which we can send out. Probably later today.

Not just ilmoro going to have to be hot to spot all these updates... I've just noticed that PBL27 is talking about a four-month extension today, so there's a bit of a counterpoint to all the ones heading for early payback.

SavingStream - I really like the fact the updates tab is now working and being populated, but could you change the format a bit or give us an option to have a simpler layout. I currently see only 2 updates on my screen at one time (on a laptop) and have to do an awful lot of scrolling to get to the bottom, especially when a full update is issued like today. Please......

And PBL42 is getting 4 which might get beyond the original 12 months advertised

And PBL42 is getting 4 which might get beyond the original 12 months advertised GPWM. I notice that the "Recent Updates" page doesn't reflect either of those, just the tab on the loan's own page.

There was much adverse comment regarding screen population, or rather the lack of it, at the time of the last software upgrade. Response......zilch! Result..........nada!! Seems that website development these days, and savingstream are not alone in this respect, is all geared to cater for the plethora of handheld devices available. We now have to carry on our lives knowing we PC/Laptop users are considered as second class citizens. You can try changing the display size in your browser to fit more on the screen. In Firefox & IE ctrl + - = reduce, ctrl ++ = increase. Not sure in other browsers.

Have I been lied to We tend to believe what we want to, I fear. I might truly believe I'm going to win the Euromillions jackpot tonight. Unfortunately the belief won't make it true. Or will it.......?

We now have to carry on our lives knowing we PC/Laptop users are considered as second class citizens. I fear more than a little of it is down to Google (among others) providing libraries to force fit web pages into unknown/generic page layouts .. and Google of course are just slightly Pro Android and Anti Micro$oft. The websites may provide the data, but they seem to often abdicate (or go with the defaults for) how it is presented to you. Was not a problem when the only decision was 'is that an 640*480 screen, or 800*600', but things are a bit more complex now.

We now have to carry on our lives knowing we PC/Laptop users are considered as second class citizens. I regret to have to report that people with handheld devices are no better off. I've just looked at the Recent Updates page using my phone, and all I can see on the screen is two updates at a time -- along with overly large text and an awful lot of white space. Also, I can't 'pinch' the display to get it to zoom at all. And if I look at the page in landscape mode, I can see only one update at a time! With just a little bit of redesign effort it could be made so much more useful.

I too was brought up on "Function over Form", but I fear what something looks like is all that appears to matter these days - but, according to my children, I am old and therefore don't count. . . . . I proved I was old by getting a bigger screen as I mistakenly believed I would see more. It's true, I can see more, but its all empty!

Ah, today appears to be March 7th, but (contrary to last week's prediction) the boat appears to still be floating? Guess we all earn another shackle (shekel?) before it finally sails away?!
