First of all, a big thank you RB for the lovely flash widget thing. It’s fab, and saved me a big chunk of time concocting something similar for my site.
I uploaded it to my web site and myspace page yesterday, & today I get an email from someone saying how much they loved one of my pics, and could they purchase it? “Woo-Flippin-Hoo!”, thought I. :o)
HOWEVER, she described the pic, and it didn’t sound like one of mine… curious I asked her where she’d seen it, and how long ago? Perhaps an old pic I’ve tired of and consigned back to disk. But when she told me what the image was, I recognized it as one of my RB faves.
Has anyone else found someone else’s pics on their flash widget? Is this a bizarre one-off glitch? Or praps did she stray off my site onto RB and end up in my favs? I’ve watched my home page for a while, as it fades pic to pic through my RB gallery, and haven’t found any other imposters…
But I’d be interested to hear if anyone else has had this happen
(Oh yes, I did confess, and sent her a link to the shoppy-page for the image she likes, (good for the karma!) and I will of course let the real artist know!)

I have not used the lovely widget yet, and would like to know as well what happened.
What a good one you are! I send you 10 premium karma points to be redeemed when you most need them.

I think this will remain forever a mystery….
But my reckoning is she accidentally wandered off my site (via the lovely widget) into RB, where she was overwhelmed with the wealth of stunning images – I don’t mean mine, well, not just mine! ;o)
So perhaps I was wrong to blame the lovely widget thing, and it was just a coincidence in the timing, maybe time will tell.

I use the lovely flash widgety thing and never had any complaints. Come to think of it I have never had any comments on it! I do like it though best flash widgety thing I have seen for ages.
Thanks for your comments on my work, I try lol

thank Paul. I’ve kept the LFWT on my site, and not a soul has mentioned it since.
I think we’ll put this down to “user confusion” on the part of one particular visitor !! ;o)
(...unfortunately I don’t think she bought the picture from the other bubbler. sorry to have got yr hopes up there!)
