<div dir="ltr">Hi Brendan - The settings you give are exactly as my KMyMoney is configured for updating prices. This worked for me on December 7, 2018 and before but when I tried to update Friday, December 28, it did not work. I tried it today and it again did not work.<div><br></div><div>Jane</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Dec 31, 2018 at 4:19 PM Brendan Coupe <<a href="mailto:brendan@coupeware.com">brendan@coupeware.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I still use Yahoo quotes.
