An update has just been released which includes a revision to the dashboard, to improve the layout and consistency of the Investment Accounts. I have to say that what I have seen so far does not appear to be a change for the better. I logged in a few minutes ago and saw that I apparently had no funds waiting to invest in my MLIA despite transferring some funds this morning. I thought that I had better check if the transfer had not worked, my buy orders had been exceptionally busy or my money had disappeared. They I noticed the button to go to transactions had gone. I found the show more option and everything was back to normallish for that account. However, when I show more on a different account, this one goes back to the less information view. First thoughts are that I do not like it. Is there a list of all changes you can share, so that I can see what else I need to know about before I stumble into it? RM - Not sure why it looks like I'm the thread author. Anyway, I split this off from the AC Website Changelog (AC Only) thread at the request of investibod , the actual poster.

I do agree that it's annoying no longer being able to see how much "Available Cash" is in your MLIA account without "Showing More" every time. In one of my accounts I can use the QAA total as a surrogate for MLIA "Available Cash" as there is no direct QAA investment and no GBBA/GLIA swept funds. However I can't do that with the other one. Mark , can we please have MLIA "Available Cash" displayed again without the need to click (it doesn't even take up more screen space, just reveals hidden figures in an existing empty space) Also, how much longer until the new "MLIA cash balance warning email" that chris promised me a while back, and which I think you were working on a couple of weeks ago, is up and running? |

Doesn't show as much info, you can click to increase the info in each individual account, but when you click a second account info disappears in first, click on third pane ... etc etc.
can we make them "sticky" please, i.e. so that we can have the info showing permanently if we desire

Generally it's tidier with all the guff hidden away so i like that, however the missing numbers do need to be shown without clicking 'show more' as i concur with the other posters in this thread that those numbers add value and do not clutter anything up, so why hide them?
On balance easy to fix i hope, and therefore a tidy up that i like.

chris it is broken. When I show more for the QAA it shows the amount for swept money at <0.01 which is the amount I am sweeping from Cash, but there it shows the amount sweeping from MLIA but doesn't add it to the total. The numbers on the MLIA number seem okay. Perhaps this error only occurs if one of the numbers is <0.01!

Possibly not connected with this change but I have noted on the downloaded statement we have a mixture of terminology which has 'confused' my spreadsheet reconsolidations
For MILA payment comes in and it headed to the QAA "Investment into Quick Access Account (5)" ..... this has now changed to "Investment into Manual Loan Investments Account (1)" but when the money returns to buy a loan part you have "Instant withdrawal from Quick Access Account (5)"
...... same applies with the GBBA where payments in go to "Investment into Great British Business Account (4)" but emerge from "Instant withdrawal from Quick Access Account (5)"

Another vote for the restoration of the MLIA cash balance please ... that is the only figure I monitor on the whole of the dashboard page.

I like the improved compactness. However, another 'vote' here for showing the key numbers (invested and not invested) without clicking for 'more'. As it is currently, it suggests greater returns than exist due to uninvested funds.

Will push for this to be done tomorrow.

That update really is a good example of fixing something that wasn't broke. Why remove information? Why move the transactions button? chris if you have programmers spinning their wheels like this, could one of them work on something we've been asking for? The ability to set a target for amortising loans so that we don't need to put a new target in each month perhaps? |

'Liking' this only the once doesn't do the idea sufficient justice.
