Yes, we have removed that link. Duplicates are automatically removed. Is it causing any issues?

I don’t see the “find duplicates” button, either…
Did buxfer remove it?

(I’m sorry. I just don’t see the “find duplicates” link. I know it’s probably obvious but I’m not finding it…)

Carol - just click on “Account Settings” => “Delete account” and you should be able to delete your account!

I had trouble setting up my account on Buxfer and would like to start over. Is there a way to delete my present account and open a new one on Buxfer?

Thanks.

I agree with Paulo. Is there any way to clear the list of old transactions that show up under “Find Duplicates”. All the ones that show up are older transactions with the same dollar amounts and close dates, but are not duplicates. I have 51 that come up, and I need to clear the list so when there are actual new duplicates, I will notice them.

Thank you for making this service even more useful with constant updates. I particularly liked the automatic rules for tagging transactions as transfers. It will make my experience here a lot more pleasant. Keeping things updated on Buxfer is now almost effortless.

One thing worries me about the new smart duplicate deletion feature. Can I disable it if I want to? Is it always going to ask me before deleting transactions it thinks are duplicates? I did a “Find duplicates” to see what would come up and it spotted several old transactions that had the same dollar amount and that had very close dates, but which were not duplicates. I wouldn’t like to have it decide what is a duplicate and what is not completely automatically. Also if it does delete them without warning, can I later check them and revert them?

Thanks!
Paulo

Dave: yah, it’s ironic. Our system had a small bug which had that unintended side-effect. We have fixed that, so you should no longer see any more dupes after you get rid of these.

This came in handy when I sync’d up yesterday and Buxfer added 27 duplicate transactions…
