Problems importing transactions with correct date (Australia)

When I want to import a transaction record using Firebux (either QIF or MS Money format) created by my financial institution, the transactions are imported with the wrong dates (the month and date are switched so that a transaction that was really on 3 Nov becomes a transaction on 11 March).

My financial institution doesn't allow me to specify the date format, and it appears neither does Firebux/Buxfer. Have I missed something, or is there any way around this issue?

Oops! Accidentally renewed for 6 months twice

Hi

I renewed my plus membership for six months but somehow (I'm sure it was my fault) renewed it twice. Since I'm not too fussed about having membership for 12 months, would it be possible for me to receive a credit for the difference between choosing the 6 month option twice, vs the 12 month option once (since the 12 month option is cheaper).

buxfer's reply to "If I mark a transaction as 'Refund' what will it do?" was just promoted to the most useful! Michael and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.

Refund is the same as income, except that a refund is included in budgets where as an income is not.

Budget overall figure incorrect

The "Overall" (i.e., total) at the bottom of the budget is incorrect.

It's currently showing the same value of the first budget item (i.e., $50) rather than the total of all budget items (should be something like $2000-3000).

See attached image.

Projections based on past income/expenses

It would be good to have an option of projecting future financial positions based on past income expenses rather than budgets and scheduled transactions (in addition to projections based on budgets and scheduled transactions).

"Current Balance" in foreign currency account does not correspond with ledger balance.

"Available Balance" in foreign currency account incorrect.

See attached image. The current balance is correctly stated in the ledger as 37,000 yen, but the Available Balance has it at -25,000 yen.

Same problem. If I set a budget item for $100 per month for coffee, with rollover, it will project (record a deduction) of 100 for coffee for the first month, 200 for the second month, 300 for the third month, and so on. By the 10th month projections is saying I am spending $1000 per month on coffee!
