Latest update, if anyone's interested.

I got the email from UFB on 5-12. I can log in now, and see my zero balance. I struggled with choosing a method for funding the account. I decided to try sending it online from my bank account, by setting UFB up in my payee list. Since I'm leery of this 'not really an internet bank' situation, I decided to send only the minimum 200 required for the bonus, for now. That will go up if this is successful.

I did learn something useful in the process. After I logged in, I was amazed at the general icky-ness and non-functionality of UFB's website. The links didn't work properly, and it was just very frustrating to use.

Then it hit me. I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser. I tried it with Internet Explorer, and it was just fine. The links worked and it looked better.

Not intending to derail the thread, I strongly recommend using Firefox or another browser over Internet Explorer. I've been using it for most of a year now, and I don't get ANY spyware or viruses to slow down or damage my computer. I still run the spyware finders and have antivirus, but they never find anything. My computer runs as well as the first day I turned it on. (I built it myself to save money, and it's really, really fast.) And Firefox is FREE and really easy to install and really easy to use and has more features than IE and it's so much safer. (sorry. love the thing.)

But I digress.
I'm not a programmer, but I work for a small software company and work closely with programmers every day.

Every single one of them tells me that when they create a web page, or a web application, they always program it for usability in Firefox, because if it works there, it works everywhere.

UFBDirectRep, with the current trend away from Internet Explorer, (Microsoft is down to only 90% market share as of last week, from 99% last winter) I would suggest that you recommend to your company that they update the website to work properly on Firefox and Opera.

Well, anyway, back to the UFB thing. So I'll let you know when the deposit gets there, and how it goes.

So far, so good.
