I don't recall seeing any promises. A good (free) add on is worth waiting on.

Curious if this add-on works anymore with VB 4.2.2. We can't get it working at all.

We simply want the option for "Receive emails from Administrator" to push the email subscription to mailchimp, and have mailchimp send out the verification email. We don't need or want sync, or merge fields or anything else.

Many thanks,

I am trying to get in touch with vbtise in regards to the mailchimp add-on but not getting any luck. Is anyone else able to get a hold of him?

[DownNout87]

Anyone? I can't seem to get a hold of this developer via PM or via his website (www.vbtise.com).

It's odd because he was online yesterday...hmm....

[DownNout87]

Very shady...this developer has logged in to this forum numerous times and still not replies to these forum posts and emails.

Think twice about dealing with this guy. You won't get any support!
