We have just updated our website with a number of changes, both cosmetically and functionally.
Many of these changes have come about as suggestions from investors.
We have tried to simplify the general appearance, whilst at the same time providing more information and easier access.
Further information will be emailed to investors shortly.

Jamesc- please see the email sent out - that will be added shortly.
In the mean time each loan has the offerings grouped, which was a request from several investors. Once the rates are available (tomorrow) it should add significantly to the useablity.

Looks good. A couple of immediate observations:
a) The grey text in the blue bar (top right) is almost unreadable until you hover over. Changing the text colour to white would fix that [Fixed by clearing cache!]
b) Can we please have a "Show All" option for viewing our loan holdings in "My Investments"? (as before)
c) The default sort order in "All Active and Past Loans" used to be "Last Updated" with the newest updates at the top, which was an ideal way quickly to check for any new updates. Can the new site default to this same sort order too please?
(by the way, sorting "Last Updated" by date produces strange results currently; looks as if it's sorting by day of the month rather than by date)

What do you mean give them time how long have they been working on it they have removed a functionality I used 30 times a day and made no improvements, my grandma could have made a better job and she's been dead for 30 years

Some quick thoughts on the updated website.
I like the functionality of the SM with one entry for each loan with a link to view all the pieces of that loan that are available. However, there doesn't appear to be an easy way to sort ALL of the loan pieces available for all the loans to find the range of premiums, discounts, interest etc.
I like the ability to sort my investments as opposed to having a default ordering by end date.
I like the "My activity on the secondary market" page and how it makes it MUCH easier to view all my SM activity.
Having been in e-commerce for many years, I am a bit surprised by some of the design elements/bugs in the site that probably should have been caught before it went live.
The top right nav bar links are illegible unless highlighted. Dull grey on a dark blue background is probably not the best choice for legible links.
I haven't gone through the code yet, but the links to sign in and register appear to be white against a white background making them effectively invisible.
[Edit: All corrected by a proper refresh]
IMHO Overall a good step in the right direction but there appears to be some work still to do.

Just had a quick browse: a) The site looks decent (but not impressive) with Firefox. It definitely looks total rubbish (completely unusable) on Edge (Microsoft faster browser in Windows 10). Before releasing the designers should at very least give 1 day of testing on IE, Edge, Firefox, Chrome. I am amazed they did not. b) Honestly the SM listings are totally useless with AER and discount indicators. Previous version was much better. You have to introduce those columns ASAP. At present the SM is totally not usable. c) an important REQUEST (something I really miss): in the 'My current investments' listing, I would like a general (highest level) "pdf button" which creates an 'official' print screen with a Funding Circle header on top and then the list, in a nice pdf format, ready to print or be left in the official records. This is simply for my records, but can be used by people to pass to accountants, company books etc. It would be an automatic snapshot of the investment to leave a neat trail of them and it would be very nice to have a button doing it automatically.
Hey Hor I think you meant Funding Secure NOT Funding Circle !

Where has the "My Activity" page and the downloadable account transaction statement moved to? I can't see it.

Ah, I see the problem. When using Chrome, the "Account Information" link is actually positioned behind the Funding Secure logo and so cannot be clicked (or seen easily, for that matter) [Fixed by clearing cache and reloading - See below]
