been having a problem with it for awhile........i try to add a new stock to the list....it says validating, and usually the list will pop up after a few seconds and you can select the stock you entered from it, and it will add it to the list, but it just says validating...., and then nothing happened (ive tried with multiple stocks, so its not the ticker symbol that wrong).....so i deleted the prefs of the widget, and it reset itself to the default, and i tried adding other stocks again, but i get the same problem.....is there a place i can download it to reinstall it? i dont know what else to do ...... this is the widget i use the most
Got a tip for us?

stock widget error

The stock ticker widget is basically a waste of bandwidth. It reports weird and random prices occasionally and often just stops reporting at all. I deleted it after a couple of weeks of hoping it would work properly but it never did.

Anyways, have you tried pacifist? http://www.charlessoft.com/
What else is there to tell? The stock ticker widget is broken. I wish it wasn't too, but that's all she wrote.
Pacifist should work.

However, that won't fix it if there is code referencing a URL that doesn't exist or has changed functionality.

Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. The bottom line is, it doesn't really matter because it doesn't work properly even if you get the stocks added.
