No, Google did its best to destroy it in favor of Google Groups. most formerly active newsgroups are moribund, but some are still quite active: misc.taxes.moderated, for instance.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 4.8: doesn't read or store config
Hi Klaus, the delay is no problem. However please remember to keep the conversation on-list... Before I redirect you to a bug, a few questions: did you build in an empty build directory and install in an empty install directory ? There may be interference from an older install. Or, do you have another version of gnucash installed (perhaps installed via pacman) ?

Re: [GNC] Default Accounting period permanent change (Ver 4.6 still..)
Hi Doug Nice to hear from another Aussie PCLOS & GNUCash user! I have the same version of GNC as you (as that's what is in the repo!) - I haven't been using GNC for long but I set the accounting period in the Preferences as Absolute to 1st July 20 to 30 Jun 21 (ie last fin year) and it defaults the reports (Beginning & End of Accounting Period) to the correct dates. I will need to change that for this fin. year (and those that follow) as it is an absolute setting but I don't see that as problem. Another alternative would be to set the dates in the Report Options and then save that report configuration so when you use it the report has the default settings you want. But I guess you know all the above being a long-time GNC user! My thanks to the GNUCash gurus, facilitators & fixers - GNC is a terrific resource!!
