<p>I recently started using Multibit and today when I opened it the app wouldn't load exchange rates on any of my wallets.</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/9pvVb.png" alt="Multibit exchange rate"></p>

<p>It shows my balance but not the value in dollars. I have it set to do so but it's not working.</p>

How do I make Mulitbit show the exchange rate?
