Widgetlaboraty widgets removed from OpenNetworkers.info

[Ray van den Bel]

Hello everyone,

I am still on holidays writing this message to you from a computer in Seattle. However I noticed that the chatbox from widgetlaboratory.com which we used for local (opennetworkers.info central station) Chats has been changed to a more commercial model by the creator and thus wasn't behaving properly.
We seemed to have the choice to either pay (a lot) for a commercial messages free new code, or to delete it. Naturally we didn't want to add more advertising to the ON and therefor we have deleted the Widgetlaboratory.com chat.

Earlier we have also deleted other tools from that creator or choose to not use specific Ning oriented tools from Widgetlaboratory because they could potentially have a safety problem. We will not bother you with a technical explanation, but to ensure safety on Ning networks we recommend Ning network owners not to use any code from that supplier in management specific areas especially where it can influence your management dashboard (itself) or add code to the 'track statistics' area.
