It's been awhile since I tried that, so maybe you have fixed that already? Like if you have a name under a pic, that name should be a link to something else. Otherwise my protopages are wonderfully reliable, which is not what you can say generally about similar apps. Good work !! Something I want to work is linking text in a photo column.

Now my "Your IP Address" had the Google time and date. My Google time and date has the ESPN PGA scoreboard. Turned the features off but that did not help.

However, the other issues you've noted don't appear during our own tests. If you could send us a screenshot via our contact form that would be most helpful.

This problem only seems to occur if you have one feed per widget. If there are several feeds in one widget, then all is fine. What happens is all the thumbnails bunch together at the top of the widget, rather than appear at the side of the feed the thumbnail relates to. This is especially noticeable if the feed is set to display several preview lines and there are a considerable number of news entries in the widget. Also, the preview bubble only appears when hovering over the image as opposed to the text of the news article. Plus you only get a maximum of four images regardless of whether you have the feed set to display more articles, such as seven.

When this happens it's almost always because the people that publish the news feed have done something to break it. Often they'll change the URLs so people subscribed to the old URLs will need to re-add the feed from the site.

But such a solution might become complicated if text is included in the widget, above or below the picture. The text part of the widget wouldn't need to change in size. And each widget that CAN contain a picture or movie clip, WOULD have to be checked for content every time. That's why I suggested the individual override in stead. It's just an extra feature on the generic widget (from an object oriented point of view) and users could then choose on which widgets to use it. They could then even use it on widgets without graphics. (this is slowly becoming a discussion... perhaps I could have better used the 'contact us' form :)) That might also work, indeed.
