My chumbyland isn't working.
When I go to the widget it just stays on the blue screen that says "Chumbyland" and has three people on it and says "loading" forever.  I tried rebooting my chumby,  deleting the widget and putting it back on again, even unplugging it when it was off.  Also I noticed that it skips the screen that says "preparing your chumbyland", but it only ever says that for half a second when it is working.

I also have ideas:
Chumbyland "Decorations" to show off your chumbyland to you and people in your chumby looking at the "chum cam", like plants or Christmas lights.
Adding chums by searching for them instead of having to wait for them to arrive in your chumby, which will probably not happen.
A chumbyland store for trading items in to get other ones.

Everyone please make sure you are running 1.8.7 or greater.  You can see the version by touching your Chum icon in the upper right corner.

If you are not, refresh your channel on your Chumby device, under the "Channel" menu.  The newest update did not go as smoothly as I had planned, my apologies.

Let me know if you are still having issues.

New in Chumbyland 1.8.7

Recently added Slay The Dragon game.  You and one of your Chums can take on the Dragon for some loot.

And a nice new feature called Follow - In your travel menu you can now choose to "follow" your Chum as it goes from place to place.  To activate this mode go to the Travel menu by touching the "chum status" text in the middle of the toolbar.  Touch the "Follow" button to toggle the Follow mode on and off.

Enjoy!

Guess I do not understand the question 100% but in follow mode you will see on your Chumby the other Chumby you are visiting, you, and anyone else who is there.  The background will be different depending on the time of the other Chumby or if they have a custom one.  Since most people use the default one you will probably see that most often.

You can see your current location in the Travel menu, as well as the owner info by touching the Location Owner button.  You also can see your Follow status here.  Your Follow status returns to OFF when you bring your Chum home, or if they are done with the current trip.  You will still get items and gifts while in Follow mode, but you can not place them in your inventory until you return home.

I hope that helps.

User Guide updated here

Check out version 1.8.7.2 or greater.  Select one of your Chums from the My Chums list and then touch the Quick Trip button.  You have to be "home" to use it.

Cheers.

It should hopefully settle at 1.8.7.3 eventually.  The updates are pretty much complete.  My apologies for the random issue here and there.

Heh...your giving away a fun find...

Cheers.

Thank YOU for all the features and done so quickly!  Very impressive!

For the list... would it be possible to log and email chumbversations... our chums are saying interesting things to each other... and sometimes I am not at my chumby to witness it.  Again, I'd be willing to pay gifts for the feature.

(I really like this concept of a gift economy... kind of like linden dollars.)

I thought I would share a set up for some of the more "hardcore" Chumbyland citizens

To get the most "action" out of the widget, you should set the play time between 5 - 10 minutes.  Chumbyland does not refresh on its own, so you need at least one other widget in your channel.

When including other widgets in the channel, you can work out the refresh by adding up the other widgets play time.  For example you could have the Chumbyland widget run for 3 minutes (it will always stay running while your interacting with it), and then 7 other widgets that run for 60 seconds a piece - adding up to 10 minutes.  Mix and match to your desire.

As noted by another citizen, you can put 2 Chumbyland widgets back to back.  You can set both play times between 5 - 10 minutes.

Just a handy tip to maximize your Chumbyland experience!

Cheers.

I could never get to the chumversation thing.  Crafting just started working for me yesterday, but it is broken again.

Make sure that the url in your browser is pointed to http://www.gochumby.com/cl - exactly like that.  Sometimes that seems to solve the problem.

Cheers.

Wow that is awesome! 

You have my permission to use whatever you need, just let me know where you post it.

Thanks for the support!

Cheers.

Thank you!

I also put a link to it from the settings area at gochumby.com.

Cheers.
