Street signs are easy. Cookies or cactuses or tea,  ...? I got one of the cactus sets "correct" even though I knew damned well that one picture I clicked was an Aloe (may have been an Agave - it was very blurred) not a cactus!  For Street names just click on all the green signs that works for me

2. "Over-bidders" are guaranteed to miss their real targets and will have to dump excess on the SM. : I suppose it depends on your definition of 'over-bidders', but someone who wanted £1k of PBL079, and put in a £3k pre-funding request would have -- by my definition -- over-bid by a factor of three. In the event, their allocation would have been £579. So while they will have missed their target, they're still short of what they want so they wouldn't have anything to dump on the SM.

Only got filled on approx half of my prefund... : You obviously selected the right tranche to go for -- people who pre-funded for Tranches B & C were allocated only about 20% of what they asked for.

I tripled my prefunding amounts after I saw the amounts allocated on A & B : If you're saying that after tripling your pre-funds you ended up with half of what you initially pre-funded, then I understand. But it sounded like you were saying you were allocated about half of what you actually asked for, which I certainly didn't achieve.

Out of curiosity, I wonder whether savingstream would tell us the number of successful / failed SM bids went through today? |

It would be interesting to see figures for daily volume of SM trades. Just for nosey-ness sake ! Is this possible savingstream ? |

Nice easy question people..... How hard did you find the SM to invest in throughout this morning (17/02/2016) Poll to close tonight Is it possible to add an additional option along the lines of " I was hard at work so couldn't find the time to try"

It was enough for me see a number of error pages - in fact I gave up.
Having said that, I did my buying last night - for a while after midnight, it was all quite civilised. Indeed, buying of good loans was so easy, I got a bit carried away and ended up selling some as well.

Perhaps they should have one of those counters on the landing page to tell you how many users are logged in; or perhaps even name them I.e whether m****3 is; bit like the Forum, so you can decide if you just want to practise captchas or otherwise waste your time.  . |

I like the suggestion of limiting SM bid amounts to so much per a time limit (maybe something like £500 per 1,2 or 3 hours period in any given day rather than per 24 hours). The £500 amount per loan is reasonable so would the time frame for almost everyone except the very big hitters. Whilst I did vote on this poll, it will make zero difference unless SS deem it necessary to act on our collective wishes. They have always been perceptive of what goes on here but maybe it will hinder their progress via the big hitters? We don't really know as they are the only ones with access to the numbers

Preventing keen buyers from purchasing for any length of time will definitely hurt liquidity at times when many are wanting to sell. But limiting each individual purchase to, say, £1000 max would allow numerous fast fingers to bag a share when a large loan part is listed, rather than just m***3's unfathomably fast finger getting the lot.
