Hi Mike,
Works for me using following Security Editor settings for security BPL:
Symbol/abbreviation BP.L
Display Symbol BP.L
Type EUREX
Quote Source Yahoo USA (Single)
Finance::Quote V# 1.27 (see output of gnc-fq-check)
What are your settings?
Maybe you are having a problem with just 1 stock. Try turning off 'Get
Online Quotes' for all the british ones and test turning them on 1 at a
time.
Good luck, Chris
