    I think I have detected a pattern here from the small number of posters who have received their 2nd email.

    The less you have in your Icesave account the more likely you are to get it sooner.

    Roll on 4th December. :mad:

    December 2009 for me then! :eek:

    TBH I don't think they mean it the way you describe, I was confused when I read the email last week but later I felt that it is just explaining about the source of the money, I may be wrong of course but I don't think the order of payment depends on the amount at all, it's just random.:)


    Hi yes I agree, (I did just delete my post as I was going to change it), I think the thing is no one knows what the order for payment is and so we all try to speculate.

    Congrats to anyone that's had a second email, I for one will be glad when this fiasco is all done and dusted.:)
    Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.

    If the website is so fragile that a few people clicking is going to bring it to a halt then I don't hold out much hope that it will work very well when we need it!


    Let's not forget the Ticketline website crashed recently with 4000 people trying to buy tickets, it took 11 hours for it to work correctly again, just follow the FSCS instructions, it ain't rocket science is it ?

    Do the FSCSABCDEFG not recommend continually pressing 'initiate' whilst shouting show me the money at the screen?

    Alistair bail me out Darling was on the news there saying it should work!

    If there is a problem with a stupid initiate link why not just make sure it's not there until it's needing a good pressing!

    I suggest that EVERYONE sign onto the Icesave site and click the 'Initiate' button at 7pm this evening. I suspect that it would be very useful for the developers to see how the site copes with the strain.

    While we're at it, perhaps we should all do a forum search on MSE at 7:30pm? Can't be too careful.

    See you all at 7pm!

    I imagine that there are quite a few Icesave customers who don't read this forum and have not received their instructions because they have not received their 1st email, if they log onto their account and see the Initiate button, what do you think they will do!

    If you have to criticise anybody then I suggest you do so at the FSCS for putting such a button on the site before people are 'allowed' to use it!

    It's human nature, you see a button marked "press here to get some money" some folks are going to click it, I expect they know this and it's not a problem!
