this doesnt work for me.......it just says no users connected when i know they are bc i go to disconnect and it asks if i am sure because there are users connected........ive tried reinstalling, deleting etc and it never works.......anyone know any alternatives or ways to get it to work? thanks
 
Perhaps try deleting the widget's preferences because that can sometimes work and all you have to do is search for part of the widget's name and the term PLIST but if you don't want to delete these preferences then you can merely removed them from the Preferences folder so that if nothing changes you can put them back there afterwards so as to retain all your old preferences but there really aren't many preferences involved with a widget so losing them shouldn't cause too much work so maybe just delete them after all........ If I'd grabbed all those full stops (periods) at the end and put them in-between the different ideas, my post may have been a little more comprehendible...

I couldn't help but read that sentence in a Vicky Pollard voice Mad Jew :D! (and it definitely gave me a giggle when I quoted you!).

I'd like second the request for a link to the widget or it's name derajfast ;).
 
That's right. Strictly speaking you should be dragging it back on from the widget bar at the bottom because it should have been closed (not in use) before deleting the preferences. :)

If you haven't done it this way, don't fret, there'll probably be a new PLIST file there so close the widget by holding OPTION over it and clicking the box with an X in it. Then delete the PLIST again and bring the widget back up.
