I've been using a couple of your wigets since i saw this post the other day. when i first downloaded them they both woked fine, untill i Did a reboot, now the one that shows my cit sigs and avatars is fine but the other one that shows a single servers status and shows your char avatar in the dock is now looking like this
,
I've tried removing and reinstalling it to no avail.
[Edit] Just fiddled with it and by changing the icons and server it seemed to have fixed it, just hope i don't have to do this each time
You shouldn't have to, obviously.
The little icon in the top-left of the widget in your screen shot is the "trying to communicate with the server" icon. It's possible that the status couldn't be read from the server (server was down, network problem, whatever).
If this happens again, try clicking on the icon; whenever you do that, it refreshes (that is, it will try to contact the server status web page again).
What sort of system do you have, and what kind of Internet connection? The widgets assume you're already connected, but I could imagine a scenario where you've got DSL or a VPN or something and the connection isn't active yet when the widget loads and tries to find out the server status...
