Are posts about alternatives to Quicken not allowed?

There is a FAQs page regarding behavior and use guidelines that you might want to read through: Quicken Community Guidelines.

More specific to your question: This Community forum is a Quicken owned and moderated website. Since this is a Quicken users forum it is expected that the discussions that occur here be about Quicken, not competitor's products. Not all mentions of competitor products get removed but most are, especially when the competitor products are being promoted or people are asking about other personal finance programs because for one reason or another they feel Quicken is not meeting their wants or needs. Those types of posts are often viewed as solicitations and the Guidelines do not permit that.

Have you tried posting about the Quicken performance issue(s) you are experiencing or contacting Quicken Support? If not, you might want to try doing that. There are a lot of really experienced people here who might have some insights that you might find helpful.

If you instead want to contact Quicken Support, click here: https://www.quicken.com/support#contact-support . Or, since you have a Premier subscription, log into your Quicken.com account and call the phone number shown there. It will give you higher priority in the queue so your wait to talk with someone might be shorter than if you call the general Support phone number.

As I've written more than once, you don't walk into the Chevy dealership and ask them which Ford you should buy. Same concept applies to this forum paid for and maintained by Quicken, Inc.

It may seem harsh, but the idea is to not help the competition.

If that meeting of Chevy owners were held in a Chevy owned facility and people started talking about replacing their Chevy with another brand you can be pretty sure they would be asked to leave or be escorted out.

You don't think this Community is set up for users benefit? Quicken lets us pretty much post whatever we want provided it complies with the guidelines and it helps people in using and understanding Quicken.

Quicken sets the rules for our use of their website. We either abide by that or they are in their right to edit or delete non-conforming discussions. There are other non-Quicken independent forums available for having discussions about the whole spectrum of personal financial platforms. But this Community is not one of those.

So, does anyone know of a financial program that has a black background light-colored text?

I can say I do not.

But if I did say what an alternative program is it would not be in compliance with Quicken's Community guidelines and it would end up being removed. This is pretty much what this whole thread is about. While in this Quicken Community: Talk about Quicken…do not talk about competitor products.

If you want information on competitor products you will need to conduct that search or have that dialog outside of Quicken Community.

In Win11, the screens to do this are different, but doing a search on "color filter" will get you there.
