I admire your positive attitude re: the check writing on/off again feature. But to say they have the problem fixed just because they were able to send one bulk e-mail out saying it is resolved does not a resolution make. When I have a check in my hand, or better yet, when I see a check clear, then I will happily sing their praise. Unfortunately, I've seen far too many similiar endeavors on Datek's part that has so far jaded my thinking. I truly hope this is the turn towards home. My post 6982 states exactly what you're saying: that they are perhaps trying to grow faster than they have the capabilities to do so. If they can successfully do one new thing, maybe they will build on that and move forward. Regrettably, they have indeed caused "undue problems to current clients." Thankfully, I haven't been too hurt, because I don't use anything but the express server for trading, which has remained the same. I don't bother trying to use any other part of their site. Again,let's hope things work out.
