    Sounds Great! Let me test and find out if it is really EDIT: I tried it by adding this page widget to the list, posting then a comment and checking with the button Actualise...nothing happened, is-it normal? There should be added an option for auto-refresh every X minutes (like the RSS checker). Well I'll teste again an post my comments here

    The widget causes Opera hanging on 100% CPU utilitzation

    Widget is working. So I'm a new fan of this and I give it a four star! But it's a little bit annoying, whenever you close and reopen the widget, it adds by default a new "space" to enter a new site. It would be better if it only open this space only if we want to enter a new site (I don't now if I'm clear...) More options would be even better. (time between 2 check-up) : do you have the last version (9.01) of Opera? On my computer, it takes more than usual but not 100%...

    OK, but... Bug? It looks great, but... it crashed my opera. The first added I added (a blogspot page) has sound. Opera tries do download the mp3 file (with freshdownloader, my downloader manager) instead of playing it. This is just a possible clue to the problem. Anyway, when I inserted the page on Update Checker it hangs Opera indefinitely. (And when I close it I got MSN stating Opera doesn't reply their messages about this error, and how to unistall opera!!!)

    Fine widget. A bit too few transparency for my taste: e.g. when are the pages re-checked automatically? Is it just a timestamp check or is there a html-compare? Maybe even an intelligent content-comparison? Some filtering would be fine. I watch a (server-script generated) page which after a minute gets a star-symbol and then a flame. But when going there I cannot see a change. I suggest, this alerts the time which is always shown on the page bottom. What I would apreciate: An explanation for the symbols and some hover-hints. Anyway this is a fine widget PS: A litte bug I just saw: When deleting a page the order of the remaining pages changes.

    I really like this widget a lot, though I would agree to some of the people who commented, you need to give an explanation for the symbols.
