Cindy, I'm also 'pro' & debated whether to include the 'get widget' tab checking it on and off several times (so, I know where it is :)

Option 4 (as you're building your widget) gives you the functionality (or lack of) you're wanting. Pictured below.

Grocio asked a question in Widgetbox on June 29, 2009 13:42:

RSS widget only displays 20 feed entries. How to show more?

I've just created my first customized widget. I upgraded to a "pro" account and LOVE the features that unlocked. Only thing that hampers my widget from being all it can be is it displays ONLY the first 20 entries of the RSS feed.

I have several tabs and it seems this limitation/feature is consistent across the tabs.

Am I missing a setting to pass the remaining bits of the feeds through to the end-user?

Grocio started following the question "Why is the Facebook App creation currently disabled?" in Widgetbox.

Funny thing is... I haven't told them who I am (they're smart & I assume they've put it together). So, technically, I've not asked for things to be restored. If they could assure me everything would be returned to how it was the moment they froze my acct... no change to my #s... I'd STFU and get after it again.

@brntbeer - nah, there are plenty of super spy masters out there. I was pretty enthusiastic though. Scott and I just managed to connect better than most.

@pink - a warning would have been fine. It's not like they don't know how to DM or @ their spy masters ;) I'm sure I'd have made accommodations. Being suspended is overly harsh. But, again, I'm not a Director... it's their game and their wacky, day to day rules.

Pink_moccassin - actually, I don't normally play games. WoW a LONG time ago... and as I recall RW sales of mined gold and such was a blossoming business at the time. How that story has progressed over time, I can't say. So, no, I knew nothing of the acceptability of selling in-game items and could only base what I saw from my days on WoW.

And, indeed, ALL of my stats were earned fairly. I had outstanding defense. An amazing Swiss account. A terrific network of master spies. Then the Directorate woke up and pulled "the stupid".

An automated bot for canceling accounts is akin to an automated bot fabricating gross amounts of liquid assets. Didn't someone in game get busted for that recently (along with a lot of collateral damage as decided by the wise, almight Directorate)? Seems the kettle is also black IMHO.

No, Pink_Moccasin, I should NOT have to start from the beginning and neither should those who WANT to continue playing past their appeal (I don't).

Perhaps you do and perhaps you don't know my true ID. I could be @cupcake12... it doesn't matter who I am. I already slugged it through and fought my way up the ladder (helping others in my ring along the way in a variety of very ethical ways). I kept slugging well after hitting lvl 30.

I played a solid game and am happy with that.

And, SpyMasterPhil... I'm not overly concerned about what you and the Directorate like/don't like. Your methods are as screwy as your algorithms.

Banned? Unbanned? What does it matter?! I'll do something on the edge of what they deem acceptable in the future and they'll arbitrarily make up some NEW rule and ruin the experience all over again.

Like I said via DMs last night... I learned what I wanted to from the experience and was simply in it to run up the scoreboard and play a good game after that. I simply call "BS" on their heavyhanded, no-notice approach. Their prerogative though and as a result it's going to cull some good players in the process.

Enzemo... excellent point.

I was having fun until they exercised that privilege.

Happy hunting.

1-4 I CLEARLY didn't violate. #5, if you take it literally, I also did not violate. I *offered* to sell in game items. Show me where I closed a sale. I could also conspire to create a script of some kind or other... does offering to do so violate terms? This is really pretty silly (both my objecting AND the rules).

So, I stand by what I said earlier... A) I never agreed to any terms of service at time of registration. There was no "we reserve the right to change the rules later" language.

The Directorate just basically borked the experience by playing the heavy. Nice. Your game. Your experience to create. No appeal here. Just feedback.

Banned for WHAT!? I call BS! No Ts & Cs...

You have NO Ts & Cs and arbitrarily ban players like me. I did nothing wrong. I played hard and right.

Pulling stuff like this is akin to Facebook's false positives on banning. "Ah well... we'll just have to tolerate a few mishaps." Well, I call BS.

Hope you run your other business better than this one.

BUENO! I completely get the @Easton bit. This ain't no Directorate after all. It's a stinkin' dictatorship. I knew it all along! ;)

WHEN will Swiss account transfer be reinstated?

My ring needs support in the form of cash transfers on occassion. As is we're often left out in the cold with limited means of our own when others in the ring are willing to step in and lend support.

WHEN will the Swiss account transfers be reinstated? A specific timeline would be helpful to have out of Langley please.
