Hi echotango,
and welcome to Kiva Friends! Glad you found your way here and thanks for your first post!
This is cross-posting a reply by Diane to a similar question raised/suggestions made in the US loans topic:
...I'd like to say on behalf of the moderating team that we are aware of this inconsistency and if we had the ability to change it, we would have done so. The site administrator, Joe, has not been available much lately, but it is (obviously!) on our list of things we'd like him to change ASAP.
Thanks and best wishes,
Wolfgang.
