Hi everyone,
I am trying to use Gnucash budgeting and have 2 issues. I have searched the
mailing list and google'd but had no luck.
1.Sign convention issues between budget, transactions and budget reports
I am budgeting for transfers to a liability (mortgage repayment). To make
the budget balance
I registered as a new user on Gnucash mailing list. I then got an email
from Nabble that asked me to click on a link to confirm my membership - see
below

That takes me into Nabble and then I cannot post without contacting Hugo

1. Please use the very latest gnucash 3.11 or 4.0; if there are still
issues please file bug in Bugzilla.
2. Budget for securities is error prone; currency and share exchanges are
complex and not proven to be reliable in budgeting module.

I realize now the ‘unofficial’ link is to an old (2015) list topic using that

Maybe retitle the Mailman page that way?
Either or both might work eventually. (and you can ask various engines to

Possibly set the excerpt text of the other official hits to include ‘forum’
