I have the same issue when making a WD request.
The FM forum has a few reasons why FM is having these probelms, check it out if you havn't done so yet.
For the moment lets wait and see....
I have a feeling that VAOL may be up after the xmas/new years holidays. Just a feeling. At the same time they could have disappeared.
FF and PrivateOpps have a similar approach i.e. some what similar to a 'broker' service may be. I think FF may have a long way.
I hope to see VAOL up in the...
Good luck 206432.
Beware of greed, initially. Invest wisely. This forum has many 'nuggets' of gold i.e. in terms of advice. Consult your peers if in doubt i.e. the more experienced forum members e.g. Jambutty, Digiclone etc.
Good luck again.
If I went through what you did, i'll be feeling the same way too I think.
However, in my case, i've had many more good experiences with ST than bad. I wouldn't write them off yet.
Hope things get better for you PeterB.
