Switchy - Plugin not loaded!

Ok, so for those who don't know Switchy! is a proxy switching gadget in Google Chrome that allows you to change proxies with the click of a button. If you are interested in trying it out, you can download it from https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/caehdcpeofiiigpdhbabniblemipncjj

The thing with Switchy, is that there was a bug that was fixed with version 1.6 so that when you actually chose a proxy it would load it properly. For those of us who looked at the error logs, we saw that the plugin wasn't loading properly, even though we had the proper version that should have fixed it. Upon googling, there was a mixture of some people who had it working and others who couldn't using the same Switchy version, and browser version. Yes, yes ... it could have been related to another dependency, but I was willing to rule that out, since I had the same problem on my Windows XP, Windows Vista, and my Ubuntu 10.04 machines!

The solution as it turns out, was that version 1.6 of Switchy did fix the error, but not when you automatically upgraded the version of Switchy. What I did was download the extension/gadget once more, and then click to install it. It did NOT remove my settings, but must have completed the upgrade properly, or placed the proper files and now I am back to switching proxies in a heart beat!

I thought i'd post this for all those who keep seeing the problem I did, but couldn't figure out why it isn't working.
