Invisible Widgets please help!
Feb 8 2009, 8:41 PM EST | Post edited: Feb 8 2009, 8:41 PM EST
I have written previously about this problem. I am able to see widgets on my home computer, but not at school. This is only limited to my Wetpaint wiki - other wikis (eg wikispaces) have no problems displaying widgets such as Glogs, Youtube videos etc. Therefore I believe it is not a problem with the page being blocked by the school firewall, nor with the version of Flash etc being used. My wiki address is http://www.digitaldestinations.wetpaint.com

Please help!

I believe it may be a bug on your site. Ask Jason or an Admin about this issue tomorrow, they aren't here today, they take weekends off.

Could someone let me know how to get in touch with Jason or Admin about this? Thanks

This isn't a problem with the coding. Your school computers are probably blocking shockwave flash. Do you find this valuable?

Kay,
i am the IT Coordinator for our school district. We encounter this problem when teachers post widgits with URLs to sites that are blocked by our filter. Ask your system admin if the sites you are trying to use are blocked.
