Rollover loans not identifying old loan

To me after first refresh around 11:00:05 AM the first appeared 6 yachts. Opened that in new tab and refreshed screen again. Went to bid for yacht in meantime, got my 100 there. 

Closed yacht tab, went to previous screen. 2 small loans were at 97, 98% (but that was a state from 5-10 seconds ago). When I went to bid for those loans they were all green/gone.

Going with bold assumption (no visibility of bid date/time) that all bids in current investments column above first bid greater than the limit are from today, we can guesstimate:

• 5444831050 - 5 piece Jewellery collection - we had 8 lenders today
  
• 2409144200 - Paintings - there were 9 bids today
  

It would be nice if FS also put a timestamp for each investment in that column. I guess its already in database so it,s just a matter of small code and template fix.

oldgrumpy:  Keep your eye on the second section of that page -- Loans Awaiting Activation -- when the loan appears there, the opportunity has come and gone.

I managed to get £25 into one of the smaller loans -- the other one seemed to go straight onto the LAA list.

 Bearing in mind the earlier conversation, I went for the smaller of the two loans first on my laptop: glad I did coz that got snapped up real quick!

Although at £25 a pop, I do have to wonder if this is a useful way to spend my time...

Same here. Only the yacht loan ever showed.

Is there anything up with the ring and necklace loan ?

I'm in the middle of transferring my £25, but it seems suspiciously slow to shift and am surprised its still available !

jimbob:  Has your deposit been credited yet?  If not, did you submit a deposit via the website to tell FS it was coming?  FS generally are very good at crediting deposits promptly, even out of normal office hours, and especially if there are loans needing funding.

I think ben has the answer.  Any loan that requires 220 different lenders to fill is going to take a while to be fully funded.  Its now 7+ hours after launch, and there's still place for seven more investors.  While setting the maximum lending limit that low may be a disappointment to some, it does mean we don't have to play the 'fastest finger' game and that has to be a positive development for many lenders.  And probably for FS's long-term future as well.

A similar situation has occurred with the yacht loan.  There was something like £30k of that loan available at today's launch (because of non-renewals) and the £100 maximum bid means FS would need to find at least 300 more lenders in order to fund that loan within 24 hours.  And that's in addition to the 170 or so lenders who rolled over their previous investment in this loan.  A quick look at the web page now shows about 200 new bids today.

I haven't a clue how many active lenders FS have.  (They published such info in the past, but I don't see it on the website now.)  It would appear from today's loans that they don't have too many more than 400, but that's just a guess since there's no way to know how many lenders looked at these two loans and decided not to invest, or who didn't even bother to look, or who didn't have the necessary spare cash.  With about £13k of the yacht loan still available right now, I think we can expect to see a fastest finger scrum tomorrow when the bidding restriction is lifted.

I thought the restriction was due to be lifted at 11 am this morning ... yet at 10:58 when I logged in it was already full with bids over £100 having been made.   What time was the restriction lifted ?
