Reviews of start!:
great ' for me
Edited review This extension recently updated and has changed everything I loved about it. I really don't like this new format. I'm going to have to start looking for a replacement if it stays like this. Edited review 02 After ikkah rolled back this to it's previous version and it now works like it did before. I've re-rated it at 5 stars
{EDIT}> Now the old version is back (as v. 2.1) everything looks normal agean, thanks I have update my rating.<{EDIT} {Obsolete}>This new updated version (2.0) is horrible. I have used this plugin for years and bean very happy about it but now it is ugly and useless. I am starting to look for something else to replace it.<{Obsolete}
