Hi Craig
That's normal at the moment. We've just passed solar minimum, where there is very little activity on the Sun - no sunspots!
But over the coming months, sunspots will come along - check the Sun image in the left column of IceInSpace which is generated from the SOHO images. You'll see sunspots as they appear and then you can crack out your baader film to look at them through your telescope.
However, you won't see surface detail with a white light solar filter/film. At best, you may see a hint of granulation on the surface, but that usually needs a larger telescope and is best picked up photographically.
To see real surface detail, as well as prominences, flares etc, you need a hydrogen-alpha telescope like a PST which lets through the specific wavelengths of light to see those features.
btw
to IIS!
