Server outage

There is an external server that is down right now. This failure is preventing the hot links for Market Analysis and the group performance summary from functioning.

In the meantime you can still view the same Market Analysis information by clicking on Broad, Narrow, Group or Specific and reviewing the information in the new browser window.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Version 1.7.6: Some Market Analysis changes .... track borrower name changes

During the last Prosper upgrade they added the ability to see each name change a borrower made. And as usual it is buried three levels too deep. I have added a quick link on the listing detail page that will display the information in a popup. Click the question mark next to the borrower's name.



I have also modified the Market Analysis magic wand popups. They had been blocking Internet Explorer from performing other tasks while they were loading the information. A message now pops up indicating that it is indeed processing and then you are free to switch to other tabs, scroll, etc. The 'please wait' popup can easily be dismissed by clicking on it and the process will continue to load in the background.





Now all of the magic wands on Market Analysis will pop the delinquency data. Again to remind you, Broad will show all loans within +/- $2000 of the listing loan request. Narrow uses the same +/- $2000 and adds show only homeowners if the borrower is a homeowner and show only group members if the borrower is a group member. Specific uses the Broad plus Narrow criteria then adds in information from the extended credit info (this option is only available while logged into Prosper). The info used includes: now delinquent, ever delinquent, both public records, and inquiries. And Group will display just specific info about the credit grade for the borrower's group, no filtering based on loan amount, homeowner, or extended credit info.

To help clarify which delinquency data you are viewing, hover over the word "(details)" in the popup to see the criteria used. And as always you can click on Broad, Narrow, Group or Specific to see the full Prosper Marketplace Performance data.






Last but not least... after this weekend's Prosper upgrade all extension features have been restored.

Version 1.7.5: Fix to favorites list

Here is a fix that will once again allow the use of the Favorites lists. The borrower screenname will only display for current active listings at this time. I will continue to work on providing a full fix for this issue.


Also -- currently the Watch Lender feature is not working because of a related bug in the Prosper API. There is no workaround for this issue.

This past weekend

Well this past weekend broke something within the Prosper API which is affecting my extensions ability to retrieve the borrower's screen name on the Favorites lists. I will provide a workaround as soon as possible. I have notified Prosper and hopefully they will provide a real solution.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Version 1.7.4: Search by state

I have created the ability to find listings by state. It is found under the Favorites link option. You will be presented with a drop down showing the states that currently have listings and the number of listings.

Only the first 25 or so listings will be displayed starting with those ending the soonest. "Or so" because some of the listings have been withdrawn or closed early.

Version 1.7.2: Fixes fixes fixes

The ending date calculation was still off... I think it is correct now on both the listing detail and search result pages.

The delinquency pop-up now shows the 4+ month late information correctly and I added the default information to the popup.

And because the calculation on the ending date was wrong google alerts were not working.

All fixed.
