Hello Dan

I understand the intention behind the deprecation, but the message in
the blog is not specific enough in terms of threeshold numbers.

At the worst case scenario, Wouldn't it be great to send an email
informing the gadget developer that his/her gadget will not longer be
supported by Google before it is removed from the system all of a

Hi,

Yesterday morning (36 hours ago) I updated the following gadget:

I keep seeing the old one if cache is activated. Normally within 6
hours a gadget is updated. Is there something wrong with the cache?

Bulk recache of gadgets

da...@yourstreet.com (davidp) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 22:17:01 UT

hi there,

we recently launched the redesign for our website [link]
and along with it we launched our new widgets.

The problem is that we're having some issues due to google serving the
old version of the widgets from their cache (which is great usually,
but not when you have to make a major update hehe) so now all the

Hi Bonstio,

I've marked the cached copy to be deleted, but it might take a few
days to propagate. Normal caching should resume next week at the
latest.

Best,

Re: _IG_FetchContent -> Information is temporarily unavailable

api....@google.com (Dan (Google Employee)) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 21:08:59 UT

Hi Florian,

AdSense reports are protected by authentication mechanisms to prevent
unauthorized users from accessing your data. Unfortunately, this also
prevents the iGoogle proxy (which requests the data in
_IG_FetchContent) from accessing it. You'll need the AdSense reports
to expose an API (which as far as I know, they do not yet do) in order

Re: Unable to fetch the contents of the file URLS on intranet through google gadgets

api....@google.com (Dan (Google Employee)) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 21:03:14 UT

Hi Amit,

Currently, the _IG_Fetch functions will not allow you to fetch content
that is on a protected intranet. In order to fetch files with these
calls, they must be accessible to the iGoogle proxy, which is to say,
they must appear, unprotected, on the internet.

Your second approach will fail when you fetch content from a different

I've had a problem loading up iGoogle for the past few months. I still
use it, and it always works upon first loading up Firefox, but then it
breaks. Currently none of my iGoogle modules are loading. When I try
to select theme or "Add stuff", I get the following message:

Simple Feed Gadget Height Adjustment Problems

strandm...@hotmail.com (strandn) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 19:51:28 UT

Hello,

I just developed a simple feed form based off some of the example code
and a few tweaks for my recipe blog. One thing I could not find how to
do was to create the expandable buttons that the standard gadgets
have. I'm not sure if I want to add the feature but perhaps in the
future, how do I add those? The gadget is located here:

Hi String,

Yes, we have slightly increased the threshold for disabling gadgets. I
believe that the current level will remain for a while (but
unfortunately I can't define "a while" more specifically). Any
increments that affect a large number of users and/or gadgets will be
announced in advance.

Hi Larry, do you simply want a gadget you can then publish your information

We offer this service here: [link] you simply fill out a
form which creates the gadget, you then fill out another form to push the

Anyone who is then using that gadget receives the essential oil facts. You

Why would I want a browser that doesn't?
