We're launching a new Message Board to replace the existing Tips Message Board to support more communication between users and give users the ability to get Financial Tips. We have gone with phpBB to support this functionality. For security reasons, posting a message will require separate registration for our Message Board area. For site updates, reporting bugs, and feedback on the site, this will remain integrated into the BudgetTracker site in our Help Section. Click Here to try it out and post your opinion either on this message board, the new one, or send an email to feedback@budgettracker.com.
We've made some modifications to the My Accounts and My Bills page to better support Credit Cards. Now when creating a new credit card account, you will be given the option to also add it to your Bills. This will also carry over to your Calendar and Budget. Once created, a Bill Transfer will be created allowing you to transfer funds from your Checking Account to your Credit Card Account. Additionally, if a transfer is scheduled on the My Bills page to a Credit Card, a Visa icon will now show up in place of the T icon for transferring funds to make it easier to distinguish between Credit Card transfers and regular fund transfers.
We've created a Tax Deduction section to allow you to keep track of your deductions throughout the year. At the end of the year, you can then print out your deductions to give to your Accountant. You can access this page from My Finances > Tax Deductions
We've made some updates to the My Calendar page to now allow you to set daily recurrences. Some other additions include updating and saving new reminders will now use ajax for faster load times, an alert or mail icon will now show up when a reminder is set and show time is on, and you now have an end time field. Some future additions will include the ability to set the time to "All Day", and customized Events.
We've added a way to track the gas mileage you use. This allows you to keep track of the gallons, price per gallon, and the total you've been spending on gas. To access, click Gas Mileage from the My Finances menu and select your gas category in your budget. Once selected, anytime you create a new transaction, a gallons field will appear when selecting the gasoline category.
The Tasks page has been updated to allow more dynamic editing. You can now click on any field such as description and the description field will convert to an input box where you can modify the information directly. Once completed, either hit the tab button or click away for the input box to update your entry.
We've added the ability to allow users to define their own background color for Tasks and Reminders. You will now see a color dropdown where you can select 1 of 12 pre-defined colors.
We've added the ability to now be able to drag and drop your accounts on the My Transactions page. This allows you to quickly order your accounts in any order you choose. Simply drag the title bar of the Account and move it to the desired position.
Now when importing your transactions, an accept/deny link will show up next to all transactions that have been imported on the My Transactions page. Additionally, imported transactions will have a different color background to easily distinguish between transactions that have been entered, and transactions awaiting approval.
