  • Not good

    They advertise on the splash page and you can't turn it off. Not worth the download

  • Buttons cannot be moved

    Could be better if the entry button can be moved. Read on the forum that PHP file should be edited, but author didn't exactly mentioned which part of the file to edit.

  • Great plugin but could be better

    I would love to give 5 stars however I have a few problems. Would it be possible to get rid of the buttons all together, and have the splash page automatically take you to the site after a certain amount of time? If this is something that is already possible to do, could someone please help me to figure out how it can be done? As soon as these problems are solved I would be more than happy to give 5 stars!
