Hmmm...

'Course, I wouldn't have posted the thing if it didn't work for me, but finding out whether/why it fails for other people is why I'm testing it.

How it should work: The green forum directory should list available forums. If you're not logged in, it should display Greek and and Space/Science. If you're logged in, it will display all the forums.

First question: Are there any forums listed?

If there are forums listed, clicking a title should open a window displaying the forum threads. Are you not getting this far?

Back to the initial display and login: The Flash widget doesn't always pick up the login cookie from the browser, to send it to the server when it requests data; and without the cookie, the server thinks you're not logged in. You should still get the public forums though; but I've seen some odd cases where it displays nothing, and maybe this is one of those circumstances.

Finally, kind of a catch-all thing: Do a hard reload of the page (Ctl-F5 in IE, shift-R in FireFox). Sounds lame, but the widget hasn't been tested in all combinations of connection speed/quality, PC power, browser type, etc; so maybe smacking it upside the head will either tell us something, or fix it. Can't hurt.
