   I made the stupid mistake of parking all my existing widgets and changing my theme form Vigilance to i-nove. I placed the widgets in the "parked" box, rather than the "available" box so they would not lose their contents. I did not like the i-nove theme so I switched back and of course got the default widget display. "no problem" thought I, "Now I can just replace the "parked" widgets into the wide sidebar, left sidebar and right sidebar.

   Ha! The widgets in the "parked area" all changed to "text" and when I tried to drag them into the widget boxes the dear little things would not move. Arrggghhh! I force refreshed my browser Firefox 3.5.5 and did the cookie dance and stared again. No luck!

   All advice will be graciously received. :(

   I've seen that as well. Refresh the page after adding a widget. I'm not sure with what is going on with them showing up as text widget.

   I can now move them although they are reluctant to move. What's really a peeve-off is that all the labels changed to "text" and when I drug them into the widget box and opened them they were empty . Well, now I do NOT have a Recent Posts or Recent comments widget in the available box that I can drga over to the wide sidebar.

   P.S. I'll try refreshing after each widget addition from the inactive box to the wide sidebar, left sidebar and right sidebar but they appear to all be empty.

   This is crazy. I am contacting Staff as I have no Recent Posts or Recent Comments widgets in the available widgets box to drag into the wide sidebar, and as all the labels on the widgets in the "inactive" widgets box changed to "text", and as when I do drag them into the widget boxes (widesidebar, left and right sidebars) they are empty. :(
