  I've added a calculator based on some math provided by some of the other WGT players. Make sure to update to version 1.22 to see the calculator. You may need to scroll down a bit for it to come into view.

  Let me know what you think! Any critique is welcomed!

  Which browser are you using? I got that message the other day wit ha Chrome clone (Blackhawk) that had fallen behind on updating itself. When I tried a newer Chrome clone (Comodo Dragon) it loaded fine.

  I have tried it with Chrome, Comodo Dragon and Srware Iron. it adds it to Chrome and Dragon but not Iron. But it will not work on either of them. I get no bar and scrolling the mouse wheel only changes putting increments. It will not work on my Windows 8 Acer.

  IT show up at the bottom of the screen. You may need to pull the scroll bar down a bit.

  The Chrome web store seems to have made a recent change to the contents of the generated extension (CRX) file.

  There is a new _metadata folder being added by the Chrome Web Store, not by people like me who are writing Chrome extensions.

  Older Chrome based browsers are getting the error because they didn't allow files with a leading underscore to be part of the extension package. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about it until the other browsers, such as Iron, Blackhawk, etc allow the new folder.

   

  ALSO, I apologize for my replies taking a bit to show up here. I AM listening but, I'm still new so they all have to be approved by a Moderator.

  I finally got it to work on Comodo Dragon and it was a joke! It was not lined up with the meter at all. the 10% line was closer to 30%. And when I removed it from Dragon it resized my screen and i can't get it back like it was.

  I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble getting it working borntobesting. Although it's free, it's by no means meant to be "a joke".

  Which putter are you using? It's a static image so it won't work with the starter putter with the huge meter. I've only got a couple putters that I can try it with. Does the meter change sizes on ALL the putters and not just the Starter putter?

  Also, it shouldn't have changed your screen size. Perhaps you just need to close and reopen your browser? 

  I've been able to test it on Chrome on both a MAC, Ubuntu Linux and a Windows 7 64bit. I don't have any Windows 8 machines to try it on but, it should work the same on that too.

  I was using Comodo Dragon at work, but since I don't have rights to update it, it wouldn't work.

  Worked no problem for my on my personal laptop just now with an updated Dragon.

  Just added it, literally just before typing this, so no chance to tinker yet.  Was just getting this out there for any possible problems for others.
