Same thing every time, as soon as the top field is not hidden, the exchange rate calculation goes wrong, hide it, and it works properly.
I'm sorry for the slow response... life happened.
omg no need to apologise, any reply/help is greatly appreciated.
and i've been away for the weekend so only just seen the reply.
The thing you're trying to do can't be done that way - if you're showing both top and bottom fields, bottom field will always be calculated from the top field. You can't show two unrelated values - bottom field will always be top field multiplied with exchange rate.
ahhhhh, I thought because the top field had the un modified value of lastprice in USD and even if that was being hidden it was still using that for the currency conversion, I see what your saying now, in that if I don't hide it, it calculates again using the top field entry so then comes up with that strange figure.
I had kind of considered that maybe it couldn't display both (very handy for when the free conversion api goes offline - frequently)
What you can do is the following. Hide top field. Use correction 1 and make sure you use currency API (as you already do). That will show GBP exchange rate in bottom field.
Then, under secondary exchange clear exchange URL (as you don't need it). Under "Field 1" (or 2 or 3, whicever you prefer) enter label USD and JSON key "lastPrice".
Then expand your gadget. Bottom field should show GBP exchange rate, and Field 1 should show USD exchange rate. There are two more fields, and you can't hide them unfortunately.
Yup, that's exactly what i do, and in the other fields I put the Low and High proces for the day (i have open set in Mybitcoins below) and this is a more than suitable option, and i just need to expand it to check if the conversion is working.
Or simply use two gadgets, one for GBP and one for USD, and show only bottom field on both.
For some reason i had not considered running 2 mycoins, I guess that's an option too
Thanks again for all your help and support, really appreciate it.
