An odd glitch .. the US & CAD dollars are at par today and the CAD does not show on the home page unless I manually change it to something other than 1.

    Hi JAC

    This was actually intentional. By default when a currency is created before price information has been downloaded it has an exchange rate of 1:1. Given that we didn't want to display all the currencies and exchange rates on the home page, the home page widget deliberately excludes those with an exchange rate of 1 making the false assumption that if the exchange rate is 1 then prices have not yet been downloaded. I'll have a chat with the developers and see about fixing this.

    I suppose the indicator 'show on home page' is the thing to look at. Maybe if it's not set no point getting the rate? I deleted all the currencies I don't want to see as it took some time & often there was an error, so I had to do it again .. now it's fine.
    Thanks
