Someone in chat last night suggested that I put this request out here
for others who miss the visible timer that used to be on the basket.
I hope this is the appropriate place to do that.
I asked the nice folks at
contactus@kiva.org about it, and this was the
response I got:
"...We decided to remove this feature as it was a confusing feature for most lenders and tended to cause more questions than it answered. Our basket timeout hasn’t changed – you still have two hours until your basket times out – the message is just hidden...."
I know I am not the only one who thinks that they made an error here.
If enough folks write them in our kind and gentle Kiva Friendly way,
maybe they will re-think that decision. They have proven to be responsive to
(and, we hope, appreciative of) KF input.

who needs help knowing what time it is, and is
dying to find out how much time she has left.
p.s. And Scott, I did also mention to them, in a nice way of course, that their claim of
2 hours was hogwash for some of us. I did not name names, so your secret is... well,
it's out in this thread now, isn't it?
