Moneydance receives errors when trying to update stock prices from Yahoo. This only started about a week ago, it worked fine for years before that. I've noticed that Yahoo have made some changes to their finance website - has that affected Moneydance quote downloads? (Moneydance 2015.7, MacOS 10.11.6)

   Is there anything I need to do to solve the problem from my end

   ?? I was hoping you would know whether Moneydance ought to be still correctly downloading stock prices from Yahoo, despite the possible Yahoo changes. The Yahoo changes I saw were to their graphical displays, don't know whether it affected your ability to link MD to their data.

   I am not support staff, just a user.

   The site is full of threads on this subject, take some time to read them.

   There is no fix at this time for the Quotes and Exchange Rates extension now that Yahoo has withdrawn this free service. The best information I have read regarding a possible future alternative to Yahoo defunct service comes from Sean the lead software developer. An extract from his post states “I'm currently adding some more public services to the extension, and anyone else is welcome to add their own or suggest some for us to integrate. We're happy to add any paid services as well - please let us know if you have any preferred sources, even if they require a subscription fee.”

   Hope this helps.

   Many thanks derekkent23. I guess it should have occurred to me to search the forums first, which I usually do when I have a problem but somehow overlooked this time :-( At least I know it's not just me.
