3 put out together this afternoon, a near complete horlicks for me. Missed out on 21063 altogether and concentrated on 21058 when my browser/connection went into spasm and severly restricted my 'gold run' and then when I turned to 21046 in desperation my PC downed tools altogether  |

Releasing multiple risky goodness all in one spurt is an interesting way of potentially giving less to the bots. Unless someone has got a multi-server bot-farm of course.

Just for clarification I haven't got a bidding bot.

"E" 21510 still open for bids as I type. Bidding seems slower than usual. Presumably the requirement to agree to new T's & C's has make some of the bots throw a wobbly!

Yeah, it's one of those rare conditions that is hardly worth the effort to program around (but I did).

Now, now GSV. You are rubbing it in. We all know that you have a bot, and that Biddy is well-behaved. And that you both believe that bot runners have an unfair advantage and that the site should control them as other sites do. But to draw attention to Biddy is just rubbing us poor manual bidders’ faces in it. We see how many bids you and Ellen get in for just one finger tap/click of ours. You must know how we feel when you see some of those other bots streaking away from Biddy (  only kidding!) |

If FC would just fix it (like SS did) we could all just turn on autobid for Es (assuming, I guess, they also fix the "autobid only buys one huge 1% part" nastiness) and get on with life. No sign of that, sadly.
Still, I notice they've also upped the CB on the London property loan to 2% (Easter threatens?) so there is an alternative target for slow typists... 8>.

That's what it does, but it has to tick the 'I accept the new T&Cs box' first (which is only there in the unlikely event there are new T&Cs).

Yes, she reads them every bit as carefully as the manual bidders, and if there is any doubt about the changes she sends for a human. 8>. Just kidding .. actually I get (email) alerted and have to manually decide whether I want to keep investing in the whole Funny Circus enterprise.

I have a position in an E loan that is late in its interest repayment which was due on the 24th March. I have noticed that it also has a whole loan that was due on the 25th March and was paid and was for a lesser amount that the 24th payment and I wonder if the Fumbling Clowns have used the interest payment for the loan that I hold to pay the interest to the whole loan holder. Additionally this is the first payment for the whole loan and as we know the first payment's are sometimes late in setting up. I have asked the question of Fumbling Clowns but does anyone have a view? If the loan should default do all loans rank equally ?
