Ya mine is borked too. I've basically stopped playing- in part because of it.

yays, it works now

Aye. It's working, but it's not showing any guilds...

EDIT: Never Mind. Closing and reopening the widget fixed it.

Problem is VO-Wiki's PHP can't resolve domain names anymore for some reason. I'm not sure if using my personal site (It's on shared hosting) for user-list parsing constantly will work / anger the host.

That's because switching to using the backup server only kind of works. Good news is that the primary at VO-Wiki is working again, so now that won't happen as often, and the widget's spark graph will be pre-populated with data points! That is, when Vo-Wiki's has been working long enough to have those data points.

2.4! Woo!

With the influx of more players (Yay!) the graph would stop showing populations above a certain point (Boo!). The 2.4 now auto scales the graph to fit, and will now start at the minimum number of players instead of 0. Since the graph's scale changes now, I've added (optional) labels showing the minimum, maximum, and midway.

Additionally I added two small features. Firstly you can now define a "friendly" guild and the guild tag of that guild will be highlighted. Just insert a guild tag (case insensitive, all you have to worry about is your typing skills) into the appropriate spot in the preferences. Next, is an alternate style for the widget which you can turn on by clicking it's box near the bottom of the preferences.

Nice, Lemming!

The old adage that you never really know what you have until it is gone is so true; I realized just how much I relied on this widget when it was temporarily non-functional. Every Mac user of VO should have this installed. Great stuff!

I think almost everyone does. And yes, VAUW is a very nice piece of Software.

Kudo's should be given where they are due.

Here is one metric tonne of Kudo's!

can't get 2.4 to work properly... It freezes and then stops activating. If it finally shows who is online, it will 9 out 0f 10 freeze on one picckie and stay there until I restart the comp.

Back to 2.3

There seems to be a bug where if there is a & symbol in the name, it won't show the guild tag. "Fanty & Mingo" and "Maalik, &c." both don't show guild tags, so it appears the & is the common thing there, although I could be wrong.

guess it is a moot point anyway at this time...

Well, this is the end of the line for the VAUW, I suppose. Cheers, to a very neat Dashboard widget, and hooray for Lemming!
