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!!

[GNC] OFX - Citi Setup Trouble
Firstly, thanks to those who have offered advice already. I am still trying to get my Citi credit card transactions to download and having no success. I have tried what is in the Wiki, plus Colin’s suggestions and those posted previously by Nicholas Rood. When I request the account list from within the wizard, this is the log I get: 20:41:41 Sending request... 20:41:41 Using GnuTLS default ciphers. 20:41:41 TLS: SSL-Ciphers negotiated: TLS1.2:ECDHE-RSA-AES-256-GCM:AEAD 20:41:41 Waiting for response... 20:41:41 Parsing response... 20:41:41 Status for signon request: General error (Code 2000, severity "ERROR") Error other than those specified by the remaining error codes.

Because we use our credit card for most transactions, not having a simple, seamless download is a dealbreaker for our financial software. Any further ideas would be most welcome.
