    Nitpicks:

    Lot of ‘white’ in the Market Monitor gadget display.

    How about ‘Market Monitor’ line in Light blue, and the stock/indices/commodities names in yellow/gold?

    I’d rather have the % change under the name and the decimal change under the current value.

    one feature you badly badly need is to display the quote to three decimal points. In Australia many of the smaller stocks are quoted in either 1/2c or 1/10c increments.

    Fantastic product.

    Is there a way to add other countries like Canada? I want to see the indicies for Canada but cannot find them under US.

    I love this gadget! Has been working great, but now it just says “loading”. I have restarted sidebar and computer. No luck!

    Jim, the gadget is currently down for server-side maintenance. We should have a post up soon explaining what’s going on.

    Buggy as hell in Vista. Just downloaded 1.5, still staring at the circular “loading” icon.

    like many here…I echo the praise for the “market monitor”. what a great gadget! The improvements to the gadget mentioned here i also believe will be great additions to an already rich feature set. although, like “Jim Bopp Says:” i also have the same issue…”Has been working great, but now it just says “loading”. I have restarted sidebar and computer. No luck!” I went to your support page and performed all the tasks in your “What are the top things to try first?” list, but No Joy!

    Any update as to how to resolve our issue of internet traffic being stopped by the sidebar or market monitor gadget?

    Thanks in advance for your consideration…

    Inspector, sorry about that, we had a server issue this past weekend that kept the gadget from loading. It should be working now.

    Hi, I just re-added your gadget and I am still seeing “Loading…”. I love your gadget when it is working and appreciate all you do for us Market Monitor Users. Do you have a time frame when this will be up and running again?

    I removed it a while ago now since it was just doing “loading…” tried it again, and still same thing. Atleast it is not just me. Too bad, it seemed like a good App.

    echoing the same problem, just says loading. so i removed the app, uninstalled it and re-installed it… so, i had to re-add my stocks, but when i used to interface to add a stock, i choose the country, then the 1st few letters, and it searches and says “searching” endlessly (when i know that in the past, it found those stocks NP).

    server still down? can u just give us an udpate so we know what’s going on please?

    Same problem here, no amount of re-installing will fix this ‘loading…’ problem. Looks like this has been a problem for months as well with very few attempts to fix it.

    This was working very well and is about the only gadget with all the features I need.

    Would be a great gadget if they managed to get it working reliably!!!!

    Hi Steve,

    Apologies for the problems that you are having. What is happening is our data sourcing is changing without any warning. This requires us to go back and change the code to accomodate the new sourcing. It is usually a quick fix but does happen periodically. We are aware of the problem and are working to fix it. Should be back up before week’s end. We are also looking at a full overhaul of the gadget which would use different, more reliable sourcing.
