First of all, you completely ignore the request to bottom post, so how
are we to give any credence to anything you post/reply, etc.?

I still say it doesn't work insofar as any built-in customization, etc.
If there is an extension that DOES work and is not buggy, then please
provide the link. It is not our intentions to post links to buggy
software and/or add-ons that are not "polished" and ready to use by all
users, especially those that are considered "newbies". That's what
"champions" do, they support all users with software that's been tested
and ready to use. We also provide support to the more advanced user by
either posting or providing links to alpha/beta software/addons, etc.
and sometimes raw code for use by advanced users.

What you are telling everyone is that you found an addon or code that is
not finished or polished (as you put it) and is buggy. Post a link to
this addon so we can have a look and "maybe" someone here can take it a
step further, who knows.
