This will probably send you through the roof, but...
any chance you have a copy of version 1.0.10 lying around? I still have status icons cluttering my feed after the first 15 go up. Also, you did help me get the showing of the HTML in the forum titles off, but there is no html at all now...
Almost all the issues I have came after adding icons and that initial bunch of threads.
I am not ungrateful, despite the sound of this... just liked the earlier version much better.
