It's not for version 3.7, it's 3.6.

I wish... I'm about to trash it since it does not work. Too bad, my members liked the stock market challenges we set up when it worked.

I know, but if you dont try then you dont know.

Im simply posting to save anyone else with 3.7 the hassle of installing to see if it works.

We disabled ours until a new updated file can be done. Says this hack is supported but the developer seems to have left.

[joopster]

I have read through most of this thread, I have one stock SIRI which shows change updates etc. But any other stock I buy and put in the hack displays () under change and never updates. I set the cron to run once and hr.

I also updated the feed.

Any suggestions?

The first page says:

Official Support
This thread until Feb 1st
After Feb 1st: http://www.anothermessageboard.com/f...splay.php?f=35

However, it is not supported there either. Also it says that version 0.9.9 is available but when i downloaded the zip file, it shows up as 0.9.8. This is a cool hack and I wish I could implement it, but it doesnt look like support is going to happen.

Appears this mod is done. No solution, developer is gone. Might as well uninstall it.

[Gimmick]

This sucks, anyone know for a stock trader mod for 3.6.8 ?
