 * I also cannot get the plugin (1.6.3) to work with my WP installation 2.8.4. I
   upgraded from WP 1.7.1 hoping that would solve it but it didn’t.
 * ISSUE:
    I’m able to install the plugin but have two issues: 1. I cannot set the
   default width on the settings page. When I enter say 450 on the settings page
   and click update, I get a page saying “Are you sure you want to do this? Please
   try again.” 2. When I paste a SlideShare code into the wordpress Rich Text editor
   I get nothing in the preview pane (as if there isn’t anything there). Example
   pasted code: `[slideshare id=1840803&doc=healthcarenapkin1-090810220707-phpapp01]`
 * Please help!
    Thanks! Preston

 * I found a fix for it, but only temporarily.
 * Make sure you specify a width in the shortcode..
 * Before:
    [slideshare id=1953813&doc=flowerpresentation-090904175651-phpapp01]
 * After:
    [slideshare id=1953813&doc=flowerpresentation-090904175651-phpapp01**&
   w=425**]
 * When I looked at the code, it set the width to 0, but I could clearly see that
   the page is loading the slideshow from slideshare.net.

 * What can I say, sometimes, I’m a moron. Fixed in 1.8.4!
