Hm, are you sure all the settings are the same on both versions? Usually people miss a character in the character field. It helps if you copy/paste the characters from the widget and the on-line version into notepad or similar app, and compare them directly underneath eachother.

Let me know what happens,
Eric

I'm seeing that bug too, I'm using the MD5 hash on the default character set. No extra l33t modifiers or anything like that.

Another wierd thing,
I did a right click->check for updates on the konfab. widget and it told me that I had 1.2 and should upgrade, even though i d/l'ed 1.3 (and the filename says 1.3)

The default character set in the Y! Widget is missing the '\' (backslash) character:

vvv Firefox vvv
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789`~!@#$%^&*()_-+={}|[]\:";'<>?,./
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789`~!@#$%^&*()_-+={}|[]:";'<>?,./
^^^ Y! Widget ^^^

It is easily possible to add this back to achieve compatibility, but you lose the "reset to default" option.

If possible, it would be excellent to make the default character string compatible between PWM editions.

BTW, excellent tool!  Is has a "Why didn't I think of this"  feel

Thanks for the compliments. It's nice to know people are still using the Yahoo! Widget.
