OFX Import Matching Problem

[Thomas Baumgart]

Brendan,

thanks for the pointer. I am tempted to rephrase that into

  Show balance status on the Homepage for accounts where balance information is available from the institution.

This actually hits the nail on the head, because not all imported statements contain a balance information. In case the above still needs some improvements, please let me know.

This way we can track it and it will be mentioned in the release notes (most automatically). I am tempted to work on it soon, so it would be cool if you can check the documentation if it needs change and mention the result of the check in the bug entry.
