Great post, my thoughts exactly. Post your QRK address already so ppl can tip you! 
Yeah, when i'm back at work next week, need to get my main address:)
I have no idea what the blockexplorer problem is, so i will reset the database of the blockexplorer (not the pool) and let abe reimport all stuff.
Hopefully that will fix all issues. If not, maybe quarkcoind's database is out of sync
