UK Mutual Funds now not available via 'Get Quotes' function

[GRAHAM SMITH]

Further update is:
UK Finance at Yahoo have responded and accept there is a problem with Fund quotes on their site. They are working on it and hope to fix it soon. (Their 'ticket no.' to me is 4128084).
Hopefully their fix will also fix the gnucash 'Get Quotes' problem for UK Funds (and perhaps Paris Funds - links to 'gchermette' query).

Dave, 
I agree the Yahoo 'Get Quote' function, on the Yahoo website, does not work for this a similar UK Mutual Funds. I have a query registered with Yahoo at present. 
If I get a useful reply I shall copy it to the list.

An example fund, of the set, is Jupiter European Inc., Symbol GB0006664683GBP; Quote Source settings: Single ‘quote source’ set to Yahoo Europe; Timezone: Europe/London. Anybody else with same problem and/or solution.

It looks like Yahoo Europe is no longer providing price data on that fund. If you put GB0006664683 into the Get Quotes box on uk.finance.yahoo.com, you get the page

http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GB0006664683&ql=1

which shows no current price data. And attempting to get price history data gets me nothing. Perhaps the fund wanted yahoo to pay (or pay more) for access to its NAV data.
