I installed the "Your Content" widget on my homepage and have been using it, but it seems to have vanished...anyone else?
Hi,
Yes, I cannot find it when I try to add it to "My View." I think it is undergoing some updating.
Hope this helps!

Yep, mine is gone too. After all the time I spent personalizing, they have to go and delete it. I'm no longer going to use that page; I'm just going to make bookmarks in my web browser for areas I want to visit.
BTW, it looks like the only "personal" widget left is "Your Bookmarks".
I was about to come and post the same thing. I need that back! I used it to follow up on people's questions I tried to answer.
Lets hope either that or a quick bug has it hidden. I highly doubt they'd just delete it; after all it was one of the default widgets on the homepage.
Yes, it is gone for me as well. This is getting really ridiculous, so all the early adopters who spend considerable time trying to understand the new system and reporting all the broken and missing features are just being screwed by the system constantly changing under their feet, meaning most of what they have learned is for nothing because things keep changing.
I am going to post a request once per day for a couple of days to please being informed via e-mail when this system is finally out of beta. Until that happens, I am off.
A workaround would be to use the "Watch A User" widget, and select yourself to watch.
I would say there are no "early adopters"; it's all-or-nothing for anyone who uses the site. I think the best thing we can do if these bugs appear is notify folks and hope the kinks get ironed out ASAP.
That seems to be the best alternative so far. In fact, it might even be bettern than the previous one...we'll see. Thanks!
Yeah, that is what I reverted to now. I'm guessing they are fixing the Your Content widget. I saw users were able to crash the Your View so thats probably the reason.
Also…I thought I did something to delete it.

I'm trying to use Watch a user, and watch myself. I keep getting No user has been selected. But I don't see how or where to add a user. Can someone please help with this?

When you add the widget use the arrow menu to edit it, and then click the "change" link next to your username (which is the default user). While the default should work to show your stuff, try searching for or otherwise specifying your usersname in this field.
Yeah they took it down without a word because of a bug in it. See Destroyed My "My Posts" Widget!!
I dont see any "change" link next to my user name on this page. When I click or hover on my user name, I only get go to your profile.
"Your Content" widget gone?
