However, there's a bug or rather, an incompatibility issue in the newest version with simple tags 1.6.6. When the 2 plugins are activated together, the wp-admin/plugins.php page is somewhat almost blank. I hope you or the other author will give it a fix :) First thing first, you have great plugin and wanted to thank you for the awesome work.

It has truly developed into an extremely useful addition to WP blogs! Second - a question: I used to be able to specify with your plugin to Not Display message to repeat visitors, or so I believe. Now it is shown to everyone and every time. Did I miss something? Anything I can do to show Greet Box only ONCE per visitor? Alex Hey Thaya,

First of all great work on this plugin! It has truly developed into an extremely useful addition to WP blogs!

Second – a question: I used to be able to specify with your plugin to Not Display message to repeat visitors, or so I believe. Now it is shown to everyone and every time. Did I miss something? Anything I can do to show Greet Box only ONCE per visitor?

Alex

The guy pushed an update for a fantastic plugin, and all he does is add a little blurb on your dashboard that has a non-malignant link. Come on, it can even be turned off. Cut the guy some slack. It won't kill you. Thaya, awesome plugin. If i had a credit card, you'd get $20. Seriously. I'm sorry, but are all of you 3 years old?

The plugin is great, and because I use and enjoy the service, I don't mind one bit giving you some traffic. After all, the people complaining about this usually have maybe 1 to 3 hits a week on their inane blog. Great work and keep trolls under bridges.

Not a box on the Dashboard, but maybe a little "Latest from Webmaster-Source" on one of the plugin's management pages. I never did though. I don't even have an opt-out credit link in WP125... :) I don't see a problem with what you added (I haven't upgraded myself yet though). You can turn it off if you don't like it. It doesn't do anything for me, since I already subscribe to Omninoggin through my RSS reader, but it would certainly be beneficial to you, as plenty of people would leave it. Paul's complaint ('Considering i was hacked last night- I'm now very wary of "things" being added or turned on without my consent.') is simply unreasonable, in my opinion. That's how software updates work. And not updating software out of fear of exploits is an invitation to attack. I actually have considered adding something similar to this.

Andrew says he didn't even notice the box until he read this thread. That is why I made it on by default. Nobody will know that the box is there unless the see it first and disable if they want to.
