Before I begin, I want to let you know that I tested all my gadgets particularly to prevent data loss and any data loss problems have always turned out to be a temporary network issue. So if you think you lost data I recommend you to follow these steps.
- Restore it from iGoogle page backup. I did post a separate blog that discusses how to backup and share your iGoogle gadgets.
- Incase you forgot to manually backup some important data, DO NOT remove your gadget from iGoogle page - this can permanently delete your recent data.
- If you deleted your gadget by mistake, click “Undo” link (near Google search box) immediately. This will get your gadget and its data back. If you are still not able to get your gadget back (probably due to browser caching issues), open a new browser window and go to your iGoogle page. Click Shift + refresh.
- Shoot me an email (screeperzone+issues@gmail.com). I will try my best to get your data back.
- Check Google Gadget API groups for help. There are professional gadget developers out there who can help you.
- Visit iGoogle Troubleshooting help page.
- Don’t panic. Wait for few minutes and then open iGoogle in different browser window and click Shift+refresh.
I am currently compiling all the issues that users emailed me about and the solutions that worked. Most of the issues were due to temporary network problems and almost everyone got their data back.
Most common issues faced by Google Partner page users (not iGoogle users)

Inline gadgets don’t work on Partner page. It only works on iGoogle page. Check this post . I have explained why I use inline gadgets in detail in this post.

Wow, what a smart to-do list! I have tried them all and this one is really sophisticated.
Idea: I use this gadget to collaborate with others and see a need for us to make a comment on a task. Is there a way that a task could have an icon that would call up the “compose mail” and put the task name in the subject line of an email? Or, better yet, could it post the comment on the task like MS Excel does in a cell?
May I comment on some of the other comments that suggested something simpler? “Simplicity of complexity requires a system that is greater in complexity.” So, for those who need something simple choose a simple gadget. Don’t compare a typewriter to a computer.
I like your gadget. Just an FYI. “Seperate” is spelled “Separate.”
Thanks for all your hard work.

Hi, I like your design of TO-DO list. Recently I received “Bad Request” many times and try to save my important datas, I ‘ve found one way to get them back: 1) Back up iGoogle settings xml, 2) Edit it using XML editor and delete some TO-DO items from the list or move them to another TO-DO list instance, 3) re-upload the modified settings. It’s all back !!
