    I guess the reason why we're being told to wait for the second e-mail is because they don't want hundreds of thousands of customers all trying to log onto the site and experiment to see which functions are working.

    Do you honestly think that "hundreds of thousands of customers" are at this min tryingg to log on to click the button? there are only about 200,000 domestic customers in total anyway.

    Have you not considered that the FSCS realised that if they placed a button marked Initiate on the site a few people would be bound to click it either by accident or on purpose? If it was critical that people do not click the button they I imagine they would only have it appear after sending out an individual's email.

    Totally agree. Only human nature after all - we're not all robots and those of us that understand these things know it won't "mess" anything up for ourselves or others.


    still idiots ,the instructions are clear " wait until the second e-mail" so why on earth to people what to click and initiate there is no sense at all.

    I wonder who will be the first person who reports that they clicked the button not having received the 2nd email and finds that it works for them? We ought to award a prize! :D:rotfl:

    they are idiots the instructions are quite clear from the FSCS wait until the second e-mail,it is people like this that we have all these crazy Health and Safety rules etc = no common sense or adhere to clear concise instructions.

    Ahhh yes exactly, the "Health and Safety rules" apply, remove jetison pin before flight etc. Safety rules like that? Which are actually meaningfull?

    After all anyone clicking that link at the wrong time will cause the end of the universe as we know it, first there will be a plague to wipe out mankind and then after the sun will explode before a black hole swallows the entire universe.

    The problem for a few of us, in seriousness is we didnt get the first email so are not confident we will get the second. I can't see why people are getting so uptight about a link which all will do will say "come back when you have the second email".

    There are more important things to worry about, like where did my first email go? :j

    There is a potentially valid reason to click before receipt of the second e-mail. Based upon the number of the first e-mails that went "missing" a successful click could allow someone to process the repayment after the message has been sent but before receipt.

    I don't think you should keep calling people idiots, IMHO they are pioneers, God if we all followed every rule we would hardly do anything!

    I am all for following rules when it is not safe to do otherwise or if ignoring rules might affect others but in this case people are just making a mountain out of a molehill!

    Probably. Mr idiot, because if they didnt get the first , they are unlikely to get the 2nd, therefore what else are they supposed to do but check when they CAN initiate. Its not rocket science , just the only other option open to them!!:p
