I have the widget added, and it shows "Youtube Subscribers" on the block. My YouTube API shows that it IS polling for the data, but no numbers or anything ever show. I had to change from "Longnumber" to "Number" to get it to even show the widget on the dashboard. Am I missing something here? I'm still a little new to this.
