Open Question: Are any Quicken users unable to update their accounts over the web right now?

Quicken is telling me it is unable to verify financial institution information. After a bit of research I learned that Quicken checks with its servers to verify a bank has been paying to export the Quicken files (I'm using PC but Mac users are *really* screwed by this since banks need to pay more to allow the same file to be imported into Macs). Anyway, I've tried changing the information to look like a different bank and no luck- is there a problem with Quicken's servers right now? Does anyone know the response the program is looking for ? If so I will just set up my possess server and change the address in my Hosts file to receive around this.. Or, if you are able to update let me know that too :).

Open Question: Can someone help me (see details)?

I was planning on building a website myself; so I've searched the net for a free web host, I found a few but none caught my interest, simply because I wanted my profile to be customizable. I want my possess domain name, we can do that, but somehow, there are two things... it's either, they put their ads in my site and domain name or they just give me a domain name with just a name (I want my possess FREE server). I also want to load my possess web templates, but they only allow users to use their templates and there are barely few templates and web embellishments/decorations. I want my site to look professional, sort of like the official sites of artists... I know they pay lots of money for it, but do you know any site that may give me a FREE host just like that? Thank you for your time. I would truly appreciate every of your answers. That would really help me...

Open Question: Questions about WordPress before I convert.?

I have a quick question about WordPress before I convert my blog over to them (http://summer-alarm-sales.blogspot.com) and I need to know a few things. 1) Will everything be able to port over or will I start from scratch? I would obviously prefer to port every of my posts over, what are the chances of that happening? 2) I blog from a few different computers, home, work and laptop, will I need to download the WordPress.org version on every 3 or is it universal like blogger? 3) What is the best and least expensive web host for the blog? If you could point me in any directions, I would be grateful for that.

Open Question: how to make users accept user agreement before allowing internet access?

I have a setup with linksys wrv200(using this for only wired connection no wireless) going to a gateway (zyxel vsg1000) that goes to a work group switch connecting to three access points. I use apache at the moment to host a user agreement web page. The gateway redirects a web page anytime a user gets on the wireless network. Once, the user accepts the agreement allows the users to use the internet. I have a problem that sometimes either my gateway or the apache goes down and the agreement doesn't show up which shuts the whole internet down. once i reboot the apache and the gateway it shows up. My question is that is there a way to do what i'm doing without a gateway? I am actually getting rid of the apache and using ubuntu to host the website.

Voting Question: I need admins, bloggers and experts! Think you can do it?

Hi there, I have a pal who owns this channel www.youtube.com/cutframe The channel is becoming increasingly popular, showing tv shows such as peep show, britains got talent etc. After popular uploads the channel is 5/10 times within the top ten, many times even the 1st TOP channel viewed on youtube. However now after getting a little test run, within the month he has got more than 300+ subscribers, and thousands of views. almost 200 videos within just a MONTH! Anyway, He now needs wordpress bloggers, so that he can embed the videos inside the blog. He is going to buy a domain and hosting. However he needs the following 1 - WordPress personal page designer and web developer - able to make blogs similar to his friends site at www.bbspy.co.uk (can you make something this personalised?) 2 - A second admin - who has to have a professional approach and will make key decisions for the sites development. Also needs to know more than average on websites. 3 - someone who is good at graphics! 4 - For moving image advertising we need someone who can create cutframe adverts with creativity and 3d motion (advert based) 5 - Recorders are welcome! People who are able to record high quality videos of shows on tv may also apply - and we can look whether there are any strong reasons to why not! NOW THE IMPORTANT BIT. YOU MIGHT ASK.. WHATS IN IT FOR ME? WELL ONCE WE receive THE SITE RUNNING - WE CAN START AN AFFILIATE PROGRAM, AS WELL AS OTHER WEB METHODS TO GAIN A LITTLE CASH ON THE SITE. EVEN IF YOU ARE THE RARE WEB DEVELOPER YOU WILL RECIEVE SHARES OF ANY REVENUE THAT IS GENERATED. I just want to receive the project out of the way... and wondering if anyone is interested in this summer proj. To find out more ADD cutframe@live.com or email at cutframe@live.com Or if you want to check out the site, log on to www.youtube.com/cutframe Thanks!
