Hey Richard,

I don't know your exact problem, and the group might need details -
especially your operating system ID - to figure this out, if the
directons below do not work.  That said, here's a picture that might
be worth 1,000 words:

The menus shown are from GIMP 2.6 but I just took a look at 2.8 and
found the same menus and options there.  Double click "Main Mouse
Wheel" in the Active Controllers pane under Additional Input
Controllers to bring up the configuration menu.

Another thing I did when setting up GIMP 2.8 - not shown in the
picture - is configure Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Scroll to:

context-brush-hardness-increase-skip (for scroll up)
context-brush-hardness-decrease-skip (for scroll down)

:o)
