Software Stories Widget

[Copernic Reporter]

Hi, over the past few days, the Software Stories widget (right side, under Community Activity) has stopped updating. @DaveLegg

I noticed that too. Usually Neowin is pretty reliable when it comes to letting us know about software updates. I only discovered that Pale Moon browser had updated to 34.0.0 by checking out their home page. It still has not showed up on Neowin. Maybe the regular moderators are on vacation?

I'm always here.  But it wasn't a moderation situation. It Also seems to now be resolved, but can you confirm on your side, @Copernic

I will ping @Redmaktoo about this.

Edit: nm just saw how old this is, and that the widget is working.

Been watching and I still don't see Pale Moon displayed. I also note that (on another site) Adobe Reader has been updated, and that's doesn't show. Not sure what you meant when you said "can you confirm on your side", but that's my most recent observation.

Our guy submits the updates manually, the widget is not an RSS feed, it displays what Razvan has posted to the site.

Just wanted to clarify my last comment. It was not a complaint. I was just trying to respond to the request for me to "confirm on my side". I don't really understand what is being asked, but tried my best to give some sort of reply.

No need to apologise!

My question of "confirm on your side" was to ask if you are seeing the same thing that I am seeing. As an example, this is the top software news stories:

And this is what shows on the activity bar:

They look to be the same to me.

I'm seeing the same thing as you.
