Not sure how others experienced the slew of loan releases this morning but I was very dissatisfied with the website performance today at 11. There were 9 loans released at 11am - 6 new and 3 renewals. I missed out on the one loan I wanted (no bid limit on an incredibly attractive car loan yet again, although FS have made their position on this clear - their cup of care is empty).
My login timed out and in the 1 minute it took me to get back in the loan had gone. I would like to suggest staggering loan releases 5 minutes apart in the future to try and alleviate the stress on the website and disappointment of missed investments.
I know it's not often there is 9 on one day, I would suggest 3 at 11, 3 at 11:05, 3 at 11:10 etc.

Last 'New loan' email I received was 18/05/17 so have no idea on any loans going live.  |

I was going to try for the car loan, but a quick google of the current retailing prices of these models, suggested to me the LTV was a little on the optimistic side imo...

Yep, you were lucky to miss out on the cars - a very optimistic valuation!

Jesus, if you can't get the LTVs right on cars, then there's no hope.  |

FS is a vector to make money not to make life easy . However a limit of £1000 on all loans in the first hour should help everyone and allow the BIG BOYS who buy £1000's at a time to invest too. If you like it buy in later on SM @ 0%

Does not effect me as not available at 11 am most of the time so I can only select from available loans later in the day ,by this time the good stuff is usually well gone

Perhaps instead of a delay like other platforms you could have pre-funding where everyone gets a share proportionate to amount you wish to invest. Restrict to 60% of loan value initially then free market similar to reinvestment loans.
