1) When I lose service (I live out in the country-ish area) I start to get error messages from the program including something from foxsports. When I regain service the program stops updating. and just cycles through old scores

Tap on SportsCenter on you today screen and select "Deactivate Sports AutoUpdate". Then tap on it again and select "Active Sports AutoUpdate".

Please post a screen shot.

Sports Center will not work as a tab. It runs best right from your main Today Screen (e.g, not a tab). Besides with it's small footprint why would you want to waste an entire tab on it?

I have never had issues running it in a Mobile Shell or Pocket Plus tab. It sounds like a compatibility problem with the 800w. Or may be it needs to run in the carrier line like on the 700wx?

With using PhoneAlarm and MobileShell, and with the carrier bar (as of yet unhideable) there is no more room for another line without scrolling. Which I don't want to have to do. And I have plenty of room for tabs in MobileShell.

As of now I switched to RealVGA 92dpi which provides plenty of room for the extra bar and am no longer have ghosting issues, but I know of another person over at treocentral who simulated my graphic issues.

I have to concur with coz here, I have never been able to enable the scrolling part of this in any type of tab. I didn't think it was possible because it is not a separate plug-in rather it used the logo line, and you can't move that into a tab (that I know of)!!!!

If you look in the setting, their is a toggle to "Use/Don't Use Today Plugin". Scotty added the plugin to the app for non Treo users. And I never had an issue running it in a tab with the Mogul I had or my Touch. I don't remember how I had the program running on my 700wx. But I am thinking the problem lies with the Treos and how Palm customizes them.

Aha...OK then, a Treo thing it is then, that would explain it, thanks for the info, wish it did work with Treos, I have tried it in a tab in the past!!

I use mine in a tab as part of SPB diary and it works fine.. regarding the 800w, the ghosting issue is probably an incompatibility with the today plugin created by zbop that's used by Pocket Sports/Stock center..not much I can do to fix it since I didn't write the plugin and have no knowledge of how

zbop's been MIA for a while so not much I can do for the 800w folks at the moment.. sorry!

And for the folks who want this app to use a full tab.

I was wondering why their had been no mention of it lately.
