It may have been mentioned already but the 'Available' column on the 'Live Loans' page is irrelevant as it will always be 0 and can be removed
This is because if a part comes up for sale on the SM, the entire PBL listing disappears from the 'Live Loans' page and appears on the 'Available Loans' page instead.
EDIT: It would also be great if the 'Live Loans' page allowe you to sort by the 'Remaining Term' and 'Invested' columns

We really ought to have a page where every loan currently on the site can be reliably found. It's quantum lending - a loan is either there or it isn't, depending on when you look. Schrodinger would be proud.

Agreed, that should ideally be the case - and I would have said it was a 'bug' on the Live Loans page, if it wasn't for the SS text which suggests its by purpose :/

This conversation reminds me to have another read of the excellent book "The Quantum Universe" by the redoubtable Prof. Brian Cox.
It made b****r all sense the first three times I tried....

What I like about this is that when you all transfer your money to SS, there is an exact moment when the money is actually in my account. The problem with it is that I cannot tell when that moment is.

Unlike the darn cat, which makes you do the work yourself & open the box

savingstream , many thanks for adding the option to "Dismiss" permanently the explanatory banners on the Loans pages. That's one bit of screen real-estate returned to useful function! ps. Any chance of doing the same to the pre-funding process explanation / global pre-fund banner on the Pipeline Loans page? Would be nice to see most of the pipeline without scrolling down.

Looks like the web site is struggling/crashed again - spinning wheels everywhere. A bit of investment is needed here I think

Just as long as they don't go to FC for the technical expertise... 8>.
Money is =a= requirement, but just throwing money at it won't get it fixed.

Maybe james would consider applying for a moderators hat to ease some of the additional workload of verifying the links that the admins and mods now need to do? I considered whether I should do that some time ago and again recently and while I don't object to the work I do not think that it would be a good idea. The problem with it revolves around the legal implications of being a publisher and being a web site and the legal consequences of both statuses. It is generally accepted in relevant forms of law that normal posters to a web site are not the web site itself and that asking the site to remove or to respond to say DMCA or defamation notices will absolve the site of legal liability. But there's a catch: is a moderator the site or not? To the best of my knowledge that is not currently clearly resolved law, whether the moderator is paid or not. The consequence of this is that if I was to be a moderator I would have to modify how I post to be more unambiguously safe from any potential defamation or other liability, lest the site as a whole be considered to be the publisher of the comments, rather than me as an individual. I do not think that constraining my post in that way is the most productive way for me to participate here, so I refrain from offering to moderate here. This isn't out of any reluctance to accept such responsibilities. While operating a medical board for a major web venue I did have contractual and legal responsibility and could potentially have faced liability for medical errors. During that time I twice arranged for ISP contact information to be used to urgently intervene where I believed the life of a participant was at risk. The first was a suicide threat that led to Mexican police forcing entry into the home of a dentist, at the time of the forced entry there had been no suicide attempt. The second case was a potentially fatal medication overdose where a person had not removed the safety cap on a needle when injecting medication, so didn't actually inject anything, resulting in lack of effect causing higher doses to be suggested. When the cap removal issue was resolved the post which mentioned that did not also mention reducing the dose. That was resolved with a phone call to establish that they had not taken too much and were not suffering from symptoms of a possible overdose. The defamation and other issues here are far more banal but no less real.
