 * Just seeing blank pages now. Nopt sure if you got broken during a recent update
   or if some other plugin is now breaking yours … either way – I may need to remove
   it permanently or until fixed.

 * Nothing? Broken permanently?

 * This is still broken, however, I have some additional insight for the developer,
   that I hope will be useful in accelerating a fix for the problem:
 * First, the problem is that every so often the plug-in displays nothing at all(
   and in fact seems to have a negative effect on other items on the page). After
   several weeks and months of debugging and watching this, I finally concluded 
   that there are no plug-in conflicts that directly cause this, and the problem
   is broke intermittent and directly related only to this plug-in.
 * The good news is, all I need to do is go to the set up for the Foursquare API
   plug-in, and refresh the caches. After I do this, the plug-in displays correctly,
   and without any ill effects elsewhere on the page.
 * For the developer: you could see my use of the plug-in on the bottom of this 
   page:
    [http://metapreneurship.net/social-graph/](http://metapreneurship.net/social-graph/)
 * Note that I use both the “badges” display, and the “check-in’s” display on the
   same page… the “badges” display never seems to have a problem, while the check-
   in’s display very frequently displays a blank box with absolutely no information.
   Furthermore, when this glitch occurs, it prevents or stifles the display of other
   information on the page. (When the foursquare API box for “check-in” is working,
   then there is another box adjacent to it that displays a “FeedJit” widget website
   visitor information it. When the foursquare API for “check-in’s” is malfunctioning,
   and any other box on the screen following the plug-in never appear.
 * When I go and refresh the cache, manually, for the foursquare API plug-in… then
   the page, and all of the widgets on the page appear correctly.
 * incidentally, here is a short code that I’m using:
    foursquare_venues type=checkins
   width=330 map_height=300 map_zoom=9 timestamp=1 address=1 stats=1 limit=6 list
   =0 autoscroll=1600 id=44
 * But I have also in the process of debugging used every other permutation of parameters,
   including the very basic
    foursquare_venues type=checkins
 * Nothing seems to have an effect, except for going in and manually refreshing 
   the cache. And, there seems to be nothing I can do to change the cache parameters
   to improve the situation (e.g. “never” versus one minute etc.)
 * I hope the developer of this plug-in gets its information, and finds it useful
   enough to fix a problem.
 * Thanks!
