   This widget seems like a great piece of work. But right now, the widget control is not showing any authors in the author dropdown.

   Hello,

   I am having the same problem with this plug-in. I have tried to set it up in fresh installs of 3.0 and 3.0.1. The strange thing I have found is that when I install WordPress from my control panel using simple scripts the plug-in works great. But when I install WordPress locally on wamp or on any server manually the widget does not populate the author drop-down. I would really like to hear any advice about getting this plug-in working correctly. Thanks.

   Not perfect, but it works (won't limit user levels in the drop down, so every single registered user will show):

   Change line 98 of user-bio-widget.php to:

   $simple_authors_query = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT distinct ID,display_name FROM wp_users,wp_usermeta"));

   (remove everything from the WHERE and after in the query)

   The line 98 fix didn't work for me, widget is still broken in 3.0.1, author drop down does not get populated.
