The missed cards feature isn't working. I have tried everything; I reinstalled both, this extension and the ankiconnect add-on (didn't work). I made sure to follow the instructions and configured the ankiconnect info to that provided in the extension instructions (didn't work). I do not have an ad-blocked. The red/yellow/green boxes still show up when I open the uworld questions, its only the 'missed uworld question' feature that is missing (which I found the most useful). Please let me know a fix for this. Otherwise this is a 10/10 app.

Fantastic extension. Was an absolute lifesaver during Step 1, paid for Step 2 studying during M3. Worth every penny. Only request would be the ability to toggle off the orange/green/yellow bars telling you where to find question material. Can be a bit distracting and buggy at times. Either way, works brilliantly.
