Dear Mr. Brill, Just downloaded this widget and it's really fantastic - first one that just enjoys being at the bottom of my display all day and doesn't get in the way. I've noticed though that if I choose a symbol that's long - such as ^MSTAR - the values get scrunched up against (and sometimes over) the symbol. Is there a way for me to set up the display so that there's a consistent gap between the symbol and the value? I'm looking at the options, but can't find a fix. Thanks again for a great widget - it's super.

I normally do not run the Yahoo Widget "dock", only the system tray icon. Today, I got a popup from the system tray icon advising to "open the widget dock" to check for available widget upgrades. Once the dock was open, I clicked on the "up arrow" at the lower left of the Stock Ticker Tape widget displayed within the widget dock and this quickly upgraded my widget to version 1.8.2. This was super easy! All my previously configured Stock Ticker Tape widget prefer…ences were saved automatically into the new 1.8.2 widget version. My Stock Ticker Tape widget is again running perfectly! Thanks very much to author Paul Brill for such a great widget. More

I submitted the fix last Thursday but Yahoo! has been sitting on it. You may email me at stock.ticker.tape.widget@gmail.com and I will send you the update.

Regards - Paul Brill

Paul:

Any ideas when you will have the fixed new version out?

I am aware of the CSV feed. In fact, I am leveraging it for one of the iPhone applications that I am currently developing. If I remember correctly, when I first created the “Scuttlebutt” widget the Yahoo! Finance web page format did not change that often (it was basic HTML). However, your post is the catalyst I needed to bite the bigger bullet and refactor the quote module. It sure would be nice to stop the increasingly frequent churning I go through now. I must have received over 100 emails… this time around!

- Thank you very much for your insightful advice!
- Thanks again to the entire user community for all of your much appreciated feedback.
