At the top of the Forecasts page, you now have the option to hide past transactions.

Re:Forecast screen
Yeah, I guess the budgets could cause problems without any dates. What I've done to get around this, which I had to do in MS Money and Buxfer, was just to create a repeating bill, it works well.

Re:Forecast screen
Thank you for the feedback. We've looked into Budget projecting and this becomes difficult due to the uncertainties since some budgets such as dining out don't have specific dates so if it were entered into your Forecast, which dates should it land on? Microsoft Money tried to handle this by splitting up your budget by the number of weeks per month but this still isn't very effective when determining the actual dates in your forecast. We'd like to get any feedback users may have on this topic and will continue looking into ways to easily and accurately represent your budget in a forecast.

Re:Forecast screen
One other thought, it would be great if you could include budgets in this Forecast screen. Right now I have to setup a recurring Bill for weekly groceries, but if I could setup a budget and keep track of it that way, it would be great.
I'd also like to add that one of the reason I'm looking to switch from Buxfer is that they started really screwing up their Projections, and it was buggy and very unreliable.

Forecast screen
First of all, I'm a new user. I've tried all the other online software, and used Buxfer for a while because of it's Projections. The Forecasting in BT is awesome, it's exactly what I wanted to see in a budgeting tool. I really like how this shows from today through the month you chose, not just the month you chose...good job!
I have a few suggestions for this page. First, I'd like the option to not show past transactions, I think forecasting is for the future. Second, I'd like to see the option to hide some of the other accounts.
It would also be nice to be able to access the Forecast screen from the tabs on the left, but I'm just thankful you have it.
