What is a widget? A widget is an application engine provided by yahoo that runs on your desktop in the form of some type of tool either pulling data from the net, from apps, or from your hardware and having it display in a draggable GUI-type interface.
JBT308 and I edited a FS9 widget that now displays all the current posts on the subsim discussion forums.
They look like this:

You can set them to update from 1 minute to 10 minutes and choose to display how many posts you want displayed at a time. (choices are 5, 10, 15, and 20)
Once you click on a post it will open your default browser to that specific post. So there is no need to surf the forums using a browser. You can let this run in back on desktop and it will keep you up to date on what is being posted on various subsim forums in realtime (within 1 minute as minimal interval).
In order to use these widgets you will need to install the yahoo widget engine. Which is available here: http://widgets.yahoo.com/
Then you can download and use the widgets you prefer below.
