So the next response I got from the telco was that they'd logged in and it all looked fine. So I logged in, and sure enough it worked, and nothing was changed, right? Otherwise they'd have told me. Of course, it broke 30 seconds later, and refixed itself on a page refresh. Fabulous service. In the meantime, I can't seem to get photos from my phone to the photo album on the site via the SMS gateway, so I can't do my bounce-off-vodafone-into-flickr trick.
But enough about the telco! My bank has "improved" their online offering, by which I mean they've reskinned it and made some of the HTML less standards-compliant than it used be, and moved some columns around. My account numbers are still displayed with the first four digits hashed out, and the two credit cards I cancelled several years ago are still listed as "Balance Unavailable". One of the genuinely new things is that if I go to the Money Transfer page, it lists all the beneficiaries I've registered with BoI over the years (previously you just typed in the account number, now you select it from this list). The list for some reason includes my own accounts. Including the full account number, diligently obscured elsewhere on the page. Nice, guys.
Needless to say, this means that Finance::Bank::IE::BankOfIreland is temporarily out of commission.
