Hi,
This thread has been created for lenders in order to request/discuss/notify of any bugs/enhancements/features with regards to the MT platform.
I will maintain a summary below with a unique number assigned to each item so as to keep a track (working in a similar way to the 'Pipeline' thread).
Kind regards,
Ed

Hi MoneyThing. I'm not sure how feasible this is or whether it would be a popular feature but there have been a few times (when there is quite a few loans available) when I have wanted to apply sorting to multiple fields. For example it would be handy if we could first sort by available then while keeping that filter sort another column such as end date. Just a thought, but I would like to hear if others think this would be a useful feature?

Just a thought, but I would like to hear if others think this would be a useful feature? At 4pm I sort on Start Date, other times on Available. Occasionally by the Renew column to check the boxes are ticked. I like the simple interface, as long as that stays it'd be ok. There could be an extended sort interface for those that want it.

Would like to be able to sort by avaliability and start date so I can see what people are sticking up around launches as well as watching the launch PS Youve posted in a staff only thread - clue is in the big letters at the top

How can we request/discuss/notify of any bugs/enchancments/features if it's a staff only thread?

Jolly handy for me would be an entry under FUNDS/Overview/My Loans which gave the date and amount of my next interest payment. I find myself searching the loans page for "<date>/" and doing a mental tot-up (and then getting caught out by loans I've sold). I know I could use a spreadsheet, but I'm too lazy.

I like the Next Interest Payment Date column idea I'd also like totals on the Statement page for Interest paid so far this month, Interest still due this month and Interest due next month.

/mod hat on The mods moved it here, while we get MoneyThing to either rethink his thread title (removed the 'staff only') or else changes the description ('for lenders to') to match. Ed .. which did you really mean? I have to admit that it was my recollection that a mod/admin added the 'stuff only' bit ... although I could be wrong. Perhaps best if you remove the 'staff only' bit and then like I do with the 'pipeline' thread I can update the 1st post with discussion following on behind it? Thanks. Ed.

Done .. all put back, title changes, and doors opened for a flood of suggestions (although the other thread is still out there).

I'll throw it in then... Some form of prefunding. (Awaits the disagreements but I honestly think the bid limits will soon become too small for some people and FFF is a pain).

Yes, I've already asked for that .. being around at 4pm (for 90 seconds) is a PITA. However I'd like an upgrade on the SS 'answer' .. i.e. I'd like to bid IF and only IF I have adequate funds (not an issue on MT since there is no INPL, but a PITA on SS), I'd like to be able to queue for SM parts too (no not nanopence like AC .. allocate £10 at a time or something, random is fine by me), and be able to set some 'fire and forget' type criteria ('stick £x into all loans of 12% or more, or 'all loans with AE prefix' or whatever). Nor do I really want a 'black box' like ACs GEIA or GBBA where it's major hassle to figure out what, if anything, you actually own.
P2P is supposed to be investment, not an all-consuming activity, requiring daily tending. I mean I have no problem with that as an option, if people want to spend their time that way, but you're never going to reach the mass of the population (even if FFF would scale to cope with it) on that basis.
Of course, there's always the 'email Ed and ask him to put a bid in for you, because you are out of town' approach, but I doubt that scales well either. 8>.

I think Ed delegates that task to one of the chickens. If they forget, they're in for a roasting 😨

All I can say is that there are a number of features/enhancements we wish to introduce which cater to a number of aspects you mention...just looking to focus on getting our core proposition Authorised first before adding any other more 'creative' Things in due course. Regards, Ed.
