Working for me now, but at some point my password reverted. Some kind of redundant db sync got laggy somewhere along the way. – brownpau, on November 06, 2009 13:39

Same here, got locked out of my account this afternoon, unable to log in with the correct username and password tonight, and the password reset emails thrown an "Oh, snap, we couldn't find you!" error, though my account @brownpau is right there.

brownpau reported a problem in Clearspring on December 18, 2008 16:31:

Launchpad "Get & Share" balloon tooltip comes up *behind* widget content.

This is the first widget we've done since the new launchpad design came out, and we're noticing that (1) there's no way to hide the menu, and (2) a tooltip balloon that pops out from the "Get & Share" text is appearing behind the widget content rather than in front of it.

The tooltip balloon seems to be hard-coded to a z-index of 0, so it falls behind anything else in the widget, so I'm not sure about the logic behind that.

Example widget here. This happens in Firefox and Chrome.

Update: Kind of in a panic at the office today because of this issue, so the above-linked sample has had its source reverted back to the old URL. You can still see the same problem in action with this test widget:

To reiterate, changing from a .js source to a .html source causes the widget embed to go blank. Dunno why.

Widgets go blank after source change.

So I made a news widget for work, which ran off a .js file on an old server. Later on I switched to a newer server and changed the widget source to a .html file. After making the switch, the widget comes up blank in all previews, on the widget home page, and when embedded. Why is this?

Sample of old source here: (It's embarassingly kludgy. CMS issues.)
http://www.usnews.com/usnews/widgets/...

New source here: (Also embarrasingly kludgy, but there are reasons for this.)

Widget home page on Clearspring:

I've been trying for days to figure this out without resorting to forums, but I'm stumped.

(I posted this in the forum but I'll try here too since it hasn't gotten any response.)
