 * Is there a way to remove the admin avatar from the sidebar widget list of avatars?
   I am developing the site for the client and am set as the default admin and obviously
   don’t want my face on their blog. I followed the simple directions of just adding
   the user id (which is 1) but it doesnt take me out.
 * I tested with the hiddenusers option in the shortcode and THAT takes out the 
   admin.
 * I’m stumped…

 * Thanks for responding…
 * Yes, i can hide others but not myself. I logged in as another user and i still
   cannot hide the initial admin user.
 * Any other ideas?

 * I had a look at this and having problems find the problem
 * Will keep looking
 * I wonder if we are seeing problems with the caching and you are being removed
   but the cache is stale and but cleared
 * You might have to delete the adim use (not a bad thing to do)

 * Ya know, literally last night the admin account stopped displaying on the sidebar
   widget (when i had the id 1 set in the Hidden Users field).
 * It seems to be working properly now. I wonder if it was a weird caching issue.
 * Anyway, all seems to to be working properly right now. Thanks for helping out
   and nice plugin!

 * OK
 * This feel like the new caching I have added not clearing
 * I will revisit it

 * I have a bit of code that disables and delete the cache for logged users
 * please pull a new version if you have time to test
