Hi Dan, It doesn't look like you've been around the iGoogle Developer Forum in nearly a week, but I'm hoping you can find the time to drop back in soon. There seem to be lots of scattered issues appearing in the last few days, and I'm guessing that they're related to the experiments with the new rendering code described above. The problems summarized below are all discussed in recent threads. I have no way of knowing if they're related to your staged rollout, but they have all appeared in the last week to previously-working gadgets. - Issues with feeds and remote content: content-type problems, HTTP errors, and more. - Some gadgets not rendering at all, instead just showing a Google- generated 404 message. - AdjustFrameHeight problems. There's a real feeling of abandonment on the forum, that Google has broken our gadgets in the production environment - with no warning before the fact, and next-to-no feedback from official channels after the fact. I also have to ask, was the "new rendering code" trialled in either sandbox before this limited live rollout? My own gadget problems are certainly things that I would have seen in my own sandbox testing, and while I can't speak for other developers, I'd think some of them would have too. One last, related question: is there any way for us developers to force the new environment for our own testing? As you said yourself, the experiments are not active for all users... and that's not a good situation for tracking down problems.
