Brian: I was referring to the time that elapsed between my reporting of the problem and when readers told me that they were once again able to access their accounts.

A couple of hours? Nope. It was down all weekend for me, and their forums have posts to reflect this fact.
I’m still hanging in there trying them out because I really like being able to see my “Real Balance” (including checks I wrote that haven’t cleared yet). But it’s a 24/7 world, and not having anyone available to respond to their problems on a weekend is not acceptable.

After reading your posting that Quicken on line was free I set up an account. To my dismay, a few days later I received the log in page the you described stating that it was a subscription service. I was a little disappointed since I had set up all my accounts, but then I set up an account at Mint.com and I’ve found that I like their format better. So Quicken’s loss has become Mint’s gain I suppose.

Poor Quicken, having their mistake spread all over the blogosphere for the past week. Well, okay, here and this Get Rich Slowly article are the only places so far where I’ve seen it explained. But still.
