Widget Preview doesn't match installation.

The preview of my widget on Widgetbox.com does not match the way it looks installed on my website. To be specific, this seems to be a mulit-tab widget issue in which the first tab displayed doesn't look like the preview. If I move that tab to the second, third or n position it does look like the preview.

Here is the widget on widgetbox.com

- Notice that the first tab is a listing of upcoming concerts for the band and has details of location, date, time etc.

Here is the same widget installed on my blog:
http://www.thisissomewhere.com/
- look in the right hand sidebar. Notice that the "summary" information is missing. The tab contains info from an RSS feed but I can tell you that this seems to be an issue with any other feed (YouTube etc.)

And just to clarify, that search string works in the basic twitter widget so my expectation as a user would be that it would work as a tab as well.

My entire search URL is 100 characters. If you're trying to get a good picture of a topic search strings need to be fairly complex.

Thanks for the prompt replies, yes, 50 just doesn't cut it

http://search.twitter.com/ = 28 already

Twitter Search Feed URL length issues

I have a blidget that has a twitter search feed - here is the URL http://search.twitter.com/search?q=fr...

This works perfectly

I have another blidget with three tabs, I'm trying to add the same twitter feed to a fourth tab, I select Twitter/Search but when I put the same search terms in it gets cutoff as if there is a URL length limit - therefore, it doesn't work

Can my twitter blidget do live updating?

Can Blidgets do live updating? I have a Blidget that displays the results of a Twitter Search (via the RSS feed) Can the blidget do live updating without a page reload? The native Twitter Widgets do this but I don't like the UX. They first put up a blank display then add tweets that match the search criteria from most recent to oldest. As each "older" tweet comes in it pushes the newer ones off the bottom.

I'd like the Blidget to have the most recent tweet that matches the search criteria on the top and then, when a new tweet comes in, it pushes the others off the bottom.

I ran it from the Admin area and I see what the issue is now - I was using my JS-Kit username/password instead of the Wordpress admin username/password.

That said, it detected that I had a large number of comments and asked me to contact support.

Communication Error?

Communication error

Failure to communicate with JS-Kit plugin on the specified WordPress server or no comments present at the server. Make sure the JS-Kit plugin is installed and activated, and try again.

The plug-in is installed and shows up on my pages but I can't synch.

Hide Vimeo Private Video

I'm developing a video widget and I want to include stuff from my Vimeo Account. Problematically, the widget puts private videos in the list. Frankly, I don't want anyone to know they are there. How can I turn that off? On my Vimeo page you can't see them at all.
