Did you read my original question, or just ignore the link to post your biased opinions supporting this erm, mod?

Asking nicely, pointing the coder to the web host who can answer his questions, got NO response. Is that what you call support for a mod? I don't. I call it throwing up your hands and ignoring someone with a problem with the mod. The problem was beyond my ability to diagnose and required more information that only the web host could give him. I directed him in that direction and got dead silence. He didn't bother to contact my web host, just moved on like it didn't happen. That is BS.

The fact that this mod "works for some" isn't exactly a glowing endorsement, except by fellow coders and friends. The mod should work for everyone. And the fact that it doesn't and has issues you fellows are still talking about only proves the point.

So far, I have downloaded and installed "DownloadsII", "PayPal Donation", "Newsletter" and one or two other mods without an issue. So obviously, I am capable of installing something that works.

As for burning bridges gentleman, I uninstalled this piece of crap from my site a while ago because it didn't work, and I was getting no help from the coder. My users are still asking me for a member map for our site, particularly one that identifies the users by username. (They feel that the coder's "privacy issue" is no issue to them and want that option). I write in the hope that some talented coder can write one that works for me and most everyone else, and has the feature that you agree would be good to have and be able to toggle on/off.

Time to sweep a mod that "works for some and not others" and is unsupported into the trash and come up with one the caliber of DownloadsII, PayPal Donation, Newsletter, etc that work when you install them. Not all of us are coders or techies to be able to diagnose and fix the bugs that prevent this desireable yet flawed piece of programming waste from functioning.

This will be my final say on this, so feel free to flame if at will. I speak candidly and from a desire to have something that works and will please my users.
