Sunglasses Anyone?

Maybe the designers had the brightness turned to minimum

...or maybe they had the screen off

It looks like a six year old was told to use any colours he/she liked.






"Oooh! Thats nice, dear!"

Is Frank's colour palette going to be realigned @Admin ?

We can't afford the electricity bills for the required luminescence.

Is it an April Fools' joke that has gone live early?! It's absolutely awful.

Chrome users might appreciate Sheen which can tame the beast chromatically speaking:

using the greyscale slider:


colouring in with the Colour change slider:


even inverting the colours and tweaking the saturation has a certain (if brief) appeal:


Hours of fun for the entire family!

The more you look at it the worst it gets - if it isn't bad enough with the eye-popping bright purple, they have lime green buttons and a peppering of pink.  Then just make all the links the same colour purple, because that's just frigging dandy 

[Monetus]

Blimey that's erm.... niche.

[jlend]

And quite a few changes at the same time.

Post by RateSetter on 15 hours agoGood afternoon everyone.  

We understand how important accurate and accessible data is, and note that data is a topic that is often discussed on this forum. We therefore wanted to flag that, after careful consideration, we are moving to monthly updates of performance data and Provision Fund data. We have explained this in full in a RateSetter Notice which can be found by logging into your account, and is copied below for reference.

Thank you.


Move to monthly data updates



RateSetter has always been a market leader in publishing detailed data about loan performance, risk and return and the Provision Fund on our website.



Today, we have refreshed our website including our statistics page. As part of this we are moving to monthly updates of performance data and Provision Fund data, which ensures accurate data will continue to be delivered in an easy to access and understandable format.



Interest and Capital Coverage Ratios



As is standard practice in the lending industry, RateSetter re-evaluates the expected future losses of the loan portfolio once a quarter (for clarity we would add that we monitor and manage the portfolio on a daily basis). In this evaluation we undertake a comprehensive review of the performance and assumptions that underpin the Interest and Capital Coverage Ratios, namely expected future losses, expected future Provision Fund inflows and future investor interest.



Meanwhile, the Coverage Ratios have historically been displayed in real-time.



This discrepancy means that the Coverage Ratios are precisely accurate once per quarter, but gradually decline in accuracy and may understate or overstate the actual position until the next update is published.



The average outstanding term of loans in the RateSetter portfolio is 21 months, so the day-to-day fluctuations in losses and the level of Provision Fund resources do not actually change the longer-term picture of the expected losses for the portfolio as it matures – in practice, loan portfolio performance plays out over months rather than hours and days.



To address this discrepancy, from today, we are moving to monthly updates of Provision Fund data. We will supplement the comprehensive quarterly evaluations with monthly updates to reflect the latest balances. The Coverage Ratios will be updated monthly, with updates occurring in the last week of each month.



Loan book



As part of this update, we are withdrawing our downloadable loan book from the members' area. As the number of loans written on our platform has increased over time – and now exceeds 650,000 – the number of investors downloading the loan book has dwindled to fewer than 0.1% of investors per month.



This is understandable because it is the overall performance of the active loan portfolio that matters to investors and detailed portfolio performance data is available via the members' area and on our public website.

Chrome users might appreciate Sheen …

Thanks for that:

It is so unbelievably awful that I have to wonder if it's a deliberate ploy to deter active investors....

[timmy]

The gaudy colour scheme is probably just a distraction from the change to monthly PF data.  Next the all too common we've listened statement will arrive and the colours will be altered.  Then a year from now it'll drop the PF data altogether.

Thank you Zappa. that add-on for Chrome is just the thing.  I have very sensitive eyes and can not look at the new florescent hues.  Stabbing pain in both eyes - literally.  If these vibrant colours are the current trend with young web designers I will be praising your name every time I activate Sheen.  You deserve an honourable mention on all optician websites/ blogs and a pint or three from anyone who values their eyesight.  I fear the young will be blind as well as deaf by the time they are my age.

Rather than spending money on ridiculous cosmetic changes to web design, which others have said and I agree with them may have a deletarious effect on one's eyesight, Ratesetter should use it to upgrade their systems.  Like every Monday or first working day of the month no repayments, or loans, are showing on the five year market, whilst as a result of their constant tinkering with the rolling market there are over 106,000 matches in the last 24 hours by 11am.

I am seriously beginning to wonder if their systems are robust enough to support such activity and whether, rather like Topsy, it can avoid falling over in the very near future.  It is a result of greed I suppose, trying to finance long term loans with short term, cheap, money and not investing in the systems to support it, or even considering whether it is viable over a long period.

Another example of style over substance although Ratesetter’s interpretation of style isn’t mine.

Do they sponsor Bristol City?
