Hi Lenny, These changes should be picked up automatically within the gadget itself almost immediately (a delay of only a few hours is common). Within the directory, the changes are also automatic, but take longer (up to 2 weeks). If the gadget has updated, but the directory entry has not, this could possibly lead to confusion, but I think this risk is small. There should not be a penalty in the directory unless the changes cause you to lose users.
