I noticed this too... no simple and obvious way to return the loan...
which leads us to a lack of systems because people forget to return
them, especially when the "take" button changes to "return" it leads
me
to believe that if I'm done with the box, I can just click "Return" and
move on without realizing I didn't actually return the loan. So no
better/worse than the old design in this respect, since in the old one
it wasn't obvious I had to return the loan either unless I happened to
click on my userid.
Yes I agree, we need an equally obvious way to return the loan.
Unfortunately Bootstrap 2 doesn't have block-level button groups, which
is what we would need here to make it look right. They were added in
Bootstrap 3, I will look into backporting those bits.
