I am currently at 25 hours having sent just over 1 BTC to BF.

I have never had any problems before. I've sent a support ticket about 12 hours ago but no reply (and, from what you have written on this topic, I don't expect one).

Either:
a) BF has taken the BTC
b) There is something going on which makes them inefficient over the last two to three days.

The Blockchain shows more than 200 confirmations.

I appreciate other posters - it's good to know what's going on and that I'm not the only one with issues.
