Uh oh.. looks like something is wrong with the widget graphics due to the changes. To be clear, the issue s affecting the Widget Title bars and now they seem offset a bit. Is there any way to fix this issue? I'd rather not have to readjust my graphics again.

As with GL and guild sites I've noticed that sometimes the XML Schema is grabbed and sometimes there's no schema. Is this just a temporary glitch?
Also, they all have the title "Latest Forum Posts" instead of the custom title we gave the widgets. Is it possible to get the RSS feeds with the custom titles instead? Otherwise we have a bunch of "Latest Forums Posts" RSS feeds around which makes it difficult to tell what guild they're from. Thanks.
For example, on iGoogle page for RSS feeds:

For example, on iGoogle page for RSS feeds:
I'll look into the issue with the schema not loading. I might need to update a MIME type in the code or something.
Also, we'll look into adding the Guild Name to the titles. Does iGoogle not let you change the name?

Correct, Google doesn't let users change the displayed RSS feed name. I can hover over the link for each when in doubt, or just remember their order, so this is a nice-to-have fix more than anything.

Thanks. It seems to be working A-OK now.

I just noticed that the RSS feed is out of sync with actual forum threads/posts listed in the "[Last|Latest] Forum Posts" section.
I have threads with replies to them 4+ hours old and the RSS feed isn't getting updated. Isn't the RSS feed set to update every 15 minutes or so?
Thanks.

Have you viewed the feed directly on your site and it is out of sync or through iGoogle? Essentially there might be two entities caching the results. Which site is this for?
On our end of things it will update every 15 minutes. If you are looking at it through iGoogle maybe they aren't updating it as regularly?

Ah, good point! That's a possibility. I'll check the RSS feeds directly and see if this happens. I might even use a separate RSS feed reader that updates more frequently. Thanks.
