There is a number of control buttons in a header of each widget, next to its title.

Community Updates

Criminal Status

A countdown till your discharge. Considering this widget is handy only if you have a warning or a ban, we hope you will never use it.

Community Pulse

The "Pulse" is a relative indicator of your own and the other UG users' activity on the site during the last 7 days. It is based on a number of submissions (tabs, news, columns, reviews, lessons), comments, activity on the Profiles (including a number of created blogs, uploaded pictures, listened MP3s, etc) and number of Forum posts.
