Why am I having trouble loading some of the Widgets onto my Profile?
If a widget does not load, even after a short period of time, it's possible that the code is not written properly. MadeBig allows our members to add widgets to their Profile page by via Widgetbox, a third-party site. While Widgetbox provides an expansive list of widgets that included varied content, these widgets are not always perfect. Since these widgets are created via a third party, MadeBig cannot guarantee that they will contain the correct information to make that widget display properly. If you find that a widget would not load, we suggest removing it from your Profile page and searching for a similar widget in the Widgetbox gallery.
