Re: Stock quote synchronizer

I've uploaded a new version of the Quotes and Exchange Rates plugin that ignores the crazy numbers coming back from Yahoo.  If everyone updates to v73 of the Q & E R extension then it should resolve the problem.

One of Yahoo!'s servers is apparently on the fritz and returning crazy numbers (and dates) for current-price requests.  I think that every request has a random chance of encountering a crazy response, so the new extension will simply ignore any responses with an "as of" date that doesn't make sense.

Thanks,
Sean
