im really sad they removed the colour options in the new version :( even the new version doesnt work the same as the old one as when i open a new tab, it tells me i need to log in (when i have!) no matter how many times i do and open a new tab and it still says to log in... been using this add on for 2 years now and its my favourite, will be sad to see it downgrade or even go. also wish they made the image background option free :( i hope they can sort this out but ill be using the old version for now

i also really don't like this new update 😭😭😭😭😭😭 there's no option to not see my past events, so i have to delete them - but i don't want to!

The latest update deleted all my counters. I paid for the premium version, re-added all my counters and now they wont even load. I get error messages. Tried removing and re-adding the extension, but didn't fix it. Tried multiple different computers, same result. Fantastic extension usually. Have used it for years. 5 stars if they get these problems fixed and communicate with us about it. Especially for those of us who paid for it.
