Thanks.

November 16, 2007 · version 2.73 ViperDragonAfter updating to Widgets 4.0, the widget no longer updates unless you close it and reopen it. If you use the refresh in the options it still doesn't update. Has anyone else experience this problem. I also see it on Earth Picture of the Day. Interesting enough, the Astronomy Picture of the Day is still working fine.
Thanks.
