BKK bank is back into their old ways again....this time a transfer to my bank took 6 days. It was good for a while after complaints about this on one of the forums on here, and monies were received the next day as it should be...

Oh well....

 

Happy New Year to all.

as a career IT guy, this demonstrates remarkable incompetence;

back in the usa, the transition from 1999 to 2000  (the effort boiled down to a standard 1 year addition with a huge amount of checking, no huge code rewrites)

It was released into production in order for customers to complete testing it, which they successfully did.

Isn't that how it works here?

What do they mean with popular system?

The system thats forced upon everyone even if they dont want it.
