As I was logging out of my account I got an invitation to view the new beta. Lets see if this works.

Merry Christmas! :D

Must be a Christmas cookie. :D

[KevinD]

Not working for me any more... :(

I got my Invitation at my last transfer. If you guys hadn't already mentioned it in some other thread, I probably would have skipped. It was clean, colorful,seemed easy to navigate, and I liked it.

[Show-me]

Yea, only works for every 500th log in.

Good one +1

When I got the invitation I grabbed my Flip Video camera and captured this video. I hope I don't get in trouble. :worried: :nuts:

How much did they spend on this? ;)

Divided by the number of views... :suspicious:

[James48843]

Thanks Kevin for the view.

Tom, they are spending a bundle on it. I'll have to go back through the FTRIB notes- but I think it was something on the order of six million dollars. I'll have to check.

Note: Still no way to contact TSP Thrift Board through the website and give them your feedback. That would have been worth including.

I believe thye mention the beta site in the October meeting minutes. I posted that information on my account in early December.

[Show-me]

They are going to wish I did not log into my account and get access to the comments part of their survey. LOL I want my unlimited inter-fund transfers back and for the money the old site is fine by me. What a waste of money.:D

Hey FT ... I missed this when I perused the beta site. What did you see?

[KevinD]

I think it was a joke.

By the way...I got another invitation yesterday. Maybe they're coming more often the closer we get to the switch over.

It's next to the double down button. :D

[grandma]

It's next to the double down button. :D
I had a second invite yesterday, also - but I couldn't find the place to make a comment per Show-me `advice.' - and the survey questions didn't address it.
I'll watch closer - maybe we should each check in FREQuently !!!:nuts:

:blink:This should be the "beta site" -oh boy!!! https://beta.tsp.gov/trailer/trailer.shtml
Imagine our retirees having to re-learn THIS!!:worried:
Also, anyone knoew the actual cost? - or where they got the funds? :nuts:
Oh -hey- where's the Log-In?? Oh well :blink: I guess the's still a few "bugs" to work out.

Please do not lump all of the retirees into the "have-no-clue" box....I'm sure nnuut still can learn a thing or 2:laugh:

It popped up on my laptop several times, but I was too busy at the time to watch through it, and now it's gone, dang it. :blink:

I figure it can't possibly be worse than the current version.

Did anyone notice if you can pull up returns while you're actually logged in? I mean, God forbid that you might be staring at your account and want to see which of your funds is going south the most quickly.

[tsptalk]

I noticed the share prices weren't being updated on the beta version.

..the offer to visit the Beta site occurred (again - lost count of the times) for me when I did an early am ift this morning... There was no time, so I declined - but I always add comment on either another ift allowed, or one in the last 3-60 minutes of closing...:)

Great idea!

[KevinD]

I think it's funny that the beta account has 10% in the L2040 and the rest spread out in the F, C, S and I...with nothing in G.

I thought the L funds were designed for 100% allocation.

[tsptalk]

Interesting observation.
