   Your gadget (OPM) is not updating. It appears to go through the steps to update, but the price hasnt changed at all. I’ve checked the price of oil on my own and today alone the price is over $4 lower than your gadget is indicating.

   I’d love for this gadget to work but it isnt updating properly.

   Where are you getting the prices from? I get my prices from a website: bloomberg.com/energy

   Doesn’t work. All I get in the gadget is “[object Error]“. I’ve tried re-installing, etc.

    Not really very good - it’s been trying to update now for several hours. Think I’ll bin it ’til they fix it and it works properly.

    Gadget just keeps loading…sucker must be huge. It’s been loading for over an hour now. It’s easier checking prices at bloomberg.com

    Jim, try re-adding the gadget to the sidebar. We were working on the feed today, so it should refresh now. If that ever happens again, it’s just a stuck feed, the actual information isn’t that big.

    I’ve been running this gadget for a while on a couple of different machines. It is no longer updating on either machine. Tried removing/re-adding and rebooting but no help. Is there an update?

    Mine stopped working also. Worked well until a few days ago now it just shows “loading”. It stopped working about the time Norton had an update. Does this require a particular port to be open? All other gadgets that require the Internet are working fine.

    BTW I love this gadget when it works.
