[GNC] Online quote retrieval not working in Gnu ash 5.0

[David H]

And neither did this one :-). Gnucash mailing list doesn't allow inline
images, it only allows you to attach images to your email although I
generally just manage to paste an image as the very last thing in an email
and that works fine for me.

You don't mention which OS but presumably Windows ?  If so there is an
issue with retrieving quotes (
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2023-April/106555.html)
which has been fixed in the nightly builds and I think from memory there is
a release planned for 30 April with this and some other bug fixes in it.

You can either install the latest nightly build from
https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/stable/gnucash-5.0-2023-04-26-git-5.0-113-gb7e966d828+.setup.exe,
wait for the fix to be officially released in a few days or you could
install 4.14 for now which I think from memory didn't have the same issue?

Cheers David H.
