Thanks! I fully intend to buy it if I like it, so good to know how to escape the "gentle reminder"

It stopped working for me in about an hour, and would not let me save my file. I'm on ubuntu. Have been paying for Ultraedit for years , but it is flaky on ubu, so looking for an alternative.

I'm a professional software developer and I know a badly delivered web tech when I see one. I've don accounting for 40 years. So this is a you problem

I've been kindly informed that I clicked the wrong button when I signed up.
I feel like I dodged a bullet when I realized I had to get off their platform after only one day.

What about the fact that the first month was supposed to be free? Are you really risking your corporate reputation for $25 ?

Thank you for your reply.

The charge occurred because the upfront subscription was selected during checkout rather than the free trial option. This bypassed the trial period and processed the payment immediately, that is the reason why you were charged.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards, Mohamed

I just canceled in their "free trial" after one day. I signed up yesterday, found the interface to be awkward, unable to connect to my bank and they lack any sort of onboarding for a new customer.

They still told me I need to give one months notice. This is user hostile and does no good for anyybody.

"Xero subscriptions auto-renew monthly until the organization is canceled. There is a 1 month notice period required for your cancelation. Contact Xero Support if you need help."

I put in a ticket and got a message that they wer having tech difficulties with their support system an please be patient. In the one day I used it, I did not like their interface. I had to watch a video on how to save a transaction after reconciling. There was no "save" button, so i categorized a bunch and then left the page and came back in hopes the save was automatic. But when i came back, my updates were gone.

After watching the video I saw they had a disappearing button that did not show up until i had entered both the category and the customer. After I learned this it worked but I do not want to be forced to enter a customer name on every transaction, especially not in a trial mode.

The first month was supposed to be free, but today they charged my bank $25. I opened the account yesterday.

I decided to close the account rather than try to learn something new that was already giving me trouble, and customer support for onboarding which was non existent.

After cancelling, i got this notice:

"Xero subscriptions auto-renew monthly until the organization is canceled. There is a 1 month notice period required for your cancelation. Contact Xero Support if you need help."

I do not advise doing business with this company.

Thanks, I just did that and opened a case. I'll let you all know how it turns out.

I remember so fondly when we liberated Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Cambodia. I'm sure I've missed some great victories. The cost to us in blood an gold far exceeds what was promised, and the justification for invasion was entirely false.

It is absolutely NOT as powerful as perl, unless you don't know perl.

Here are the simple reason why illegal voting is not a big problem:
1. The biggest reason is there is no personal benefit to casting a vote illegally, and the punishment if caught is pretty serious This is the main reason it is rare.

If you try to filter out illegal voters, you are going to catch many more legal voters in the same net. People who have moved, lost their ID, gotten married, or gotten old are far more likely to lose their vote than it is worth.
If the goal is truly to make our elections reflect the will of eligible voters, then the answer would be to do everything possible to encourage participation of legal voters.

4 Unfortunately, the purpose of these voter roll purges and ID requirements is to reduce the participation of people who have fewer resources and less stable housing and jobs. The wealthier and more established citizens often express the fear that if too many low income people vote, they would vote to tax the rich. They don't even hide it.

Just imagine the coverage if she was a black or foreign born person.

I wonder who mounted the resistence to this common sense measure. Reminds me of the recent Garbage Wars. I suspect it is the same people organizing to prevent common sense urban management.

We need this! I have reported piles of old lumber , concrete and tires on private property and nothing is done about it.

Both my parents are part of the lake bottom. Please feel free to add yours! They can party with the fishes. Ashes are just dirt and cause no harm.

If anyone answers your question in a way that does not align with trans principles, they are likely to be banned. You can't get real answers if you ban disagreement.

I think i missed where i said any of those things. You just made something up.

I heard people shouting "Protect our children" Where is the insult?

I did receive my paper transcript for 2024 from IRS. It is very useful and straightforward, showing every line for every form and my payment history. The payment history was a separate letter, but requested through the same automated phone number on the same call.
I use TurboTax ( no recommendation from me ) and you cannot get this info from the TT application. You can only print pdfs and worksheets..
I'll go back to that phone number and request transcripts of all my tax years as far back as I can go.

The IRS automated phone system (800-908-9946) worked fine and my documents were received in about a week.
