Loan Calculator Bug

[aussiechief]

Hi Guys...

Congrats on the new enhancements... awsome!

Have discovered a small bug in the Loan Calculator... default interest rate is shown as '7.0%'... but if I change it to something else, say 8.75%, it actualy shows in the field as '0.875%'... and 10% shows as 1.0%... so the decimal point always appears one place too far to the left...

We have confirmed that this is a bug when using the loan calculator while a metric plan is open. We will look into this further and try to get a fix into the next available update.

Do we really need a "Loan calculator"?
Seems like a feature that is not worth the programmers time to work on..
Might just be me though..

Yes. Please read my comments about the loan calculator in the announcements section.

"The loan calculator was addded specifically for the consumer products where we think it will get a lot more use. We just didn't want to add a feature to a lower end product and not give it to our professionals because we didn't think you needed it. I am absolutely sure that some people will use this, even if its just because it is more convenient then going out and finding one on the web. Also, it was done by one of our summer interns so it really wasn't done instead of fixing more important bugs which need to be done by our more senior engineers."

Remember the Dilbert where Wally is going to program himself a minivan?
