    Brief Description: Stocks that are priced under $5 are able to be bought, even though andrewkm set the minimum at $5.

    Instructions: Try a stock less than $5, and the purchase should complete.

    How many times did you recreate this bug?: I haven't, personally. However, many of the top portfolios have. (http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/stocktrader/top-portfolios)

    Result: You're able to buy the <$5 stock.

    Expected Result: Stocks <$5 are restricted.

    Evidence: http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/stocktrader/top-portfolios

    andrewkm told me to post this.

    Woah what... It was set at minimum 1 dollar.
    How, what, why, um @Physicistsmom did you change this? Or did I just derp and totally forget.

    Set it to 5 now, please test and confirm.

    Regarding all the people who got stocks under 5$. Well, consider yourself lucky I guess, you may keep them, it was my fault :)

    It wasn't technically a rule, merely a reminder of the settings we have placed. Thank you for being honest however <3

    I believe there is a discussion thread in the bank area about lowered minimum stock price. Feel free to join in :)
