 * Used to work… I updated and now it’s broken, blows up the rest of the side bar
   too.
 * I also removed it completely and installed fresh from your site. No dice.
 * If it’s on, any widget that follows doesn’t load and Deviant Thumbs don’t show.
 * Strangely, using the :thumbxxxxxxx: in posts DOES work…
 * EDIT: More info. It gets to this line:
 *     ```
       <li id="deviant-thumbs-3" class="widget widget_deviant-thumbs"><h2 class="widgettitle">My deviantArt</h2>
       <ul id="deviant-thumbs">
       ```
   
 * Then the page ends, no </body> no </html> nada…
 * I tried “Show in carousel” checked and unchecked (the way I use it)

 * What version of WordPress are you using?
 * Try adding this line to wp-config.php:
 * `define('WP_DEBUG', true);`
 * and see what you get.

 * This may be connected…
 * When I do a search on DA’s site “by:YorokobiAssaiki” there are NO results on 
   the “popular” page, which is the default – only when I click on “Newest” do I
   see my deviations.

 * Here’s some more, and this comes from the Widget box under Widget in the admin
   panel…

 * Notices are pretty harmless. Even WordPress has some of them at times.
 * Try the [Development Version](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/deviant-thumbs.zip)(
   1.9.2b).

 * Better. It doesn’t crash the webpage any more but it also doesn’t show what I
   asked for…
 * I put by:YorokobiAssaiki in and I got 3 random pictures I’ve never seen before
   from 3 different deviants…

 * After several page loads it DID do it again ONCE. So that’s like 1 failure out
   of 20 – seems like maybe the plug in doesn’t have a graceful way of dealing with“
   no answer” when it goes to get the thumbnails?
 * That and the fact that it doesn’t return what was requested, but I’m sure that’s
   a DA API related issue.
 * You’d think DA would make it easy to do this sort of thing.

 * It seems to be working fine on my local server.
 * Download the dev version again, since it’s been changed in the meantime.

 * No change – ocassional failure – always giving me random results from DA, never
   what I specified in the widget.
 * Nothing personal, but, strike 3, you’re out.
 * It’s a shame, since it worked perfectly for me before.

 * Oh well… You can download the old version (1.8.6) from [here](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/deviant-thumbs/download/).
