New to MW as well. Once you click on a month's graph to see the activity for that month, how do you get back to the full/all-activity view?

You must start your cash flow tracking on the first of a month. Any transactions or money flows prior to that date are simply ignored.

Ok, thanks. :) But why were all my buckets empty on the 1st? Was that because I had set the money flow start date to 14th of May when I started using MW? The amounts will roll over when July comes a' knockin', won't they, now that I've set the money flow start date to 1st of June?

No, you only set your cash flow start date once. You can restart it at anytime without losing data but you don't need to. If you have set it to 6/1/2009 and assigned a starting amount, you should have money in our primary income bucket and will see any spending done today as well.
