We figured out a (at least temporary) solution for CheckBot. It is back online without any slowdown in speed to the actual website. CheckBot might react a little slow, but it will still behave as it should.

The site has been acting very slow recently and after spending hours trying to track down the cause, we have found out that CheckBot is infact the reason things have been going slow. To avoid geek speak, we'll just say we needed to take CheckBot offline and work on getting it updated to fix its problems.

We're not sure how long CheckBot will have to remain offline, but hopefully it won't be too long. At least the site is performing at a reasonable speed now.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yet another month has come and gone and we're still going strong. We currently have over 3,800 active members who are tracking over 307,000 different transactions. We reached the quarter million transaction mark this month and have far surpassed it.

There hasn't really been too much in the way of updates to the site this month as most of the focus has been shifted towards preparing Version 2 for launch at the end of May. The beta testing should be open in a couple weeks and we'll start taking names for those of you who are interested in testing the new version of the site out before we release it to the public.

Other than that, keep telling your friends about the site and stay tuned to the blog for more updates on version 2.

Over the past few days the server that's hosting ClearCheckbook had been acting up. This morning, it went down for a few hours and we contacted support and tried to find out what the heck was going on. It turns out there were a few factors coming into play, but the end result is that they moved us to a different machine that shouldn't have any of the problems the old one had.

I'm sorry for any problems you've had while trying to access the site. If we continue to experience problems with this company we will start searching for a new server soon.

We just hit the quarter million transaction mark today! Over 250,000 entries are currently being stored on ClearCheckbook, although over the 11 months the site has been up and running, an additional 150,000 have been added and then later removed. This means during the time the site has been up and running, we've had over 400,000 transactions entered.

It's great to see the site growing so well and how much it's helping people. Thank you everyone for continuing to make ClearCheckbook.com the best place to manage your money online.

Here's to another quarter million!

We've started compiling a big list of all the feature requests you've all submitted over the past few weeks and we are starting work on the next version of the site. CCBv2 will have some great new features as well as a newer and easier to use interface.

Keep an eye out for some information about beta testing the site. We'll post a message in a few weeks here on the blog letting you know when the time to beta test is here.

The beta testing will be limited to a specific (yet undetermined) number of members, so once the message is posted follow the instructions if you're interested in testing.
