I always end up asking Martin after reducing myself to a drooling idiot trying!

Grrr.. I have spent about three hours on my WSW bookmarks between yesterday and today. Watch filters for price checks at Amazon and Newegg. Very simple. Highlight the price alone - nothing else - and then a watch filter set as "contains changing numbers/dates". They all work great for a couple days, sometimes a week or two. Then - suddenly I get error messages saying that the whole content is blocked! If I delete the filter and then recreate it exactly, all is well again. Well, at least for a short time.
Grrr....

I experienced this once also, with Newegg. I never bothered looking for a solution, but I am curious about it.

I have a business associate who uses and likes the Firefox extension Update Scanner at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3362 although I myself haven't used Firefox over the last several releases. Update Scanner supposedly displays a popup notification when a monitored site changes. Just a possible (and hopefully not too inane) alternative to your Website Watcher woes, superboyac.
