    Netbook crushes podcasts page

     This is about my netbook, not the site, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

    I have an Acer, Windows XP home, I think my browser is up to date.

    I prefer to use the grazr widget to download podcasts.

    In this latest incarnation of FDR, the podcast page shows up with the right and left sides appearing as the do on the PC I normally use, but the grazr is crushed inbetween to something unrecognizable. If I click on the RSS, it takes FOREVER to scroll using the silly little fingerpad that comes on the netbook in place of a mouse.

    Any ideas if there is a way to show the grazr widget better?

    I happen to have an Aspire One D250. I'll tinker with it this week and see if I can reproduce the problem.

     I've got the Aspire One ZG5.

    Do you have a touchscreen on yours? I've heard they've got a touchscreen. I still have weirdness going on with the fingerpad on this.(Translated "Having a heck of a time getting used to it") I think I'm willing to use up one of the USB ports for a mouse.

    Thanks for being willing to check out this problem for me.Big Smile

    I have a usb mouse that plugs in with a cord, and it makes scrolling much easier on these tiny-touchpad computers (I also have an Acer).

    Re: Netbook crushes podcasts page

     Ok, I clicked on alterate view, the info at the top of the grazr instructs "if the view is too narrow, click here", and now I've got a big beautiful grazr widget!

    Thanks Stef! That worked wonderfully.

    I did still pack my old Logitech Marble Mouse in my netbook bag. I like my Aspire One, but am too impatient to deal with the touchpad!

    (And I love the way this mouse handles!)
