    Does anyone know any way I can ban myself from using this site during certain hours, let's say a ban from 8 am to 10 pm everyday?

    Will power; http://www.chromeextensions.org/alerts-updates/website-blocker/; http://getcoldturkey.com/

    The first two are useless but the coldturkey program is a right bugger to get around so I recommend that.

    QoL suggested this to me a while ago, I like it. Not specific times each day, but once you sit at the computer you can say "Right, I'm studying until 6pm." and set the time accordingly.
    Concentrate for google chrome ;) You'll have to find something just as effective for Firefox and even Internet Explorer (for those really desperate times) for the whole thing to work though :P

    March into your local branch and say you couldn't get your statement or whatever. Apparently that'll do the job.

    AFAIK, you have to have gone into your branch during the "technical glitch" more than you normally would have, and you have to have made a transaction to claim it.

    But how would they even know that? I was in several times, but they couldn't do anything because the system was down so I got sent away without so much as my name or account number being taken

    Don't quote me on this, but I heard that you only get the 25 quid if you did a transaction with them. Weren't they letting people withdraw 100EUR to tide them over or something? Think you only get it if you did that.

    On the plus side, you won't be paying bank charges for a while, and interest rates on deposits increase.

    The whole thing's been a disaster though. I wouldn't go near UB with a 10 foot pole now. Not so much because of the system going down, but because of the way it was handled by their PR guys and CEO.

    AIB mightn't be great, and they may be closing our local branch next year (even after the bank manager told us they "definitely wouldn't" :mad:), but whenever I've needed money my account has worked! :P

    This should cover you (and me):
    What are you doing to recognise the inconvenience caused to customers?

    An automatic one-off payment of €25 to those Personal Current Account customers who visited and transacted at a branch during the period of the incident (19 June - 18 July 2012) more frequently than in the equivalent period before the incident (19 May - 18 June 2012).
    What if I don't have any original paperwork?
    If you don't have any original paperwork, please drop into your local branch and speak to a member of staff.

    What counts as a transaction though? I had money put into my account by someone else, but if you wanted to do anything with the money you were told to go to an ATM and take the cash to the relevant bank.
    Weren't they letting people withdraw 100EUR to tide them over or something? Think you only get it if you did that.
    First I heard about that, could have used that during the three weeks they took to put money in my account.

    Everyone's going back to school and/or college I'd say, and they're in that early semester/school year period where they're "going to study every night and not procrastinate on boards", which should wear off by mid-October. :P

    No more 12 hour days on boards for me after Monday. :(

    It's the UL Network which is wired directly into my bedroom. :cool:

    It's probably inflated a bit seeing as it's Friday evening and there's very few people around.
