Yeah… I am not certain what my problem might be. I am on my home computer. It starts to update, but when it gets to about 66% complete, it just stops the process.

I do believe it should be working. I dont have it on the computer I am on at the moment but others have reported it is working again.

eldinril,

It doesn't work for me at work. My workplace blocked it lol. I guess no more analyzing at lunch.

Yup it's not working for me anymore either.  It was definitely up in the middle before though.

thankfully seems like ADVFN is working again.

Hope this doesn't happen again.

Bad news. Advfn has changed their website and the detailed statements no longer work.

Here's the post by the author of SMF add-in

With more details on recent AdvFN errors for me to look at, it now appears that
AdvFN has made some changes to their website. I don't know if this is a
permanent or temporary thing. But right now, my PHP pre-processor routine can
no longer pull any web page source code from their site.

The reason the pre-processor routine existed was to change the data to an
"expected" format so extraction was easier. That's because there's no way to
know where data beyond the first or last five periods will be without accessing
the website first to see how many periods of data they carry. That's what made
it difficult to define fixed element extractions without the pre-processor.

I'll have to look into whether I can fix it. I think there is a way but I'll have to test whether it works.

In the meantime, please be patient and for all spreadsheet buyers, I'll send out an update if I can find a workaround. Won't be done overnight but know that I am dissappointed just as you as I use it everyday myself.

Thanks for your patience.
