I am waiting for a fix for 4.2 version...

[Mobo]

I'm pretty sure that's because of the new Navbar manager which this mod is not updated for. You could add it manually, but you will need to know the URL of the final page you want to land on.

Stopped working in 4.2.1.

Any way to manually add to the postbit?
