Existing users, 
Sometimes the information about a particular download never loads (the information that appears in the bottom pane when you click on an Application name in the Watch List). The short one-line description appears, the path appears, and it says "Loading information..." but the information never loads.
Usually the information contains a description of what's changed/new, so I feel this is an important bug to fix. I assume it's not just me, because I've experienced this on both my home and work computers, and across multiple OS installs/reinstalls. I have a T1 connection at work, and a dial-up at home.
Oddly, this affects only certain programs, and once the program version changes, the information may appear again. For example, right now I cannot get a description of the current version of ArtRage. If I click the app below that, it gives me the description. Clicking back on ArtRage again has no effect. (If I right-click in the information pane, an option "Reload" appears, but if I click that, the user home page appears in that space -- Whoa! -- and not the application description.)

Sometimes the information never loads - Pseudo K
I am looking at my list of Installed Software which list all of 10 itmes now. Of those 4 are still Loading Information after 10 minutes. They are Gizmo Project, KoTOR, OpenGL Extension Viewer and DoppleViewer.wdgt. I should note that Gizmo and OpenGL both list updates as being needed yet I have downloaded and installed both several times now and they are still showing as the old version. In other words the updates aren't really pointing to updated files.I should also note that double clicking on the icon of the file in the Installed Software list WILL take you to the corresponding VT page.

At the moment, information for the following programs does not appear: FileWrangler, FontDoc, Freefall, iTattle, MySQL Administrator, Old Glory.saver, PHP Studio, Printer Setup Repair, Skype, SQL4X Manager J, SQL4X Viewer, ThinkGeek LED Clock.saver. These are culled from the programs currently reported as out of date; I didn't check any of the others, there are too many (although they also suffer from the same issue, for example, the program Acquisition does not currently display a description). There are currently 74 programs reported as out of date on my system, so the ones not displaying the full info are about 1 out of 6 on average.Reply to This
