Hi Christopher,
it's fixed for me too! I really appreciate your support. You wrote that
you'll fix it in couple of days, not in a few hours :) Especially that you
have done it on New Year's Eve. You have my respect. Thank you! You really
improved a quality of y life :) (this issue was very annoying for me).
Could you briefly describe what was the nature of that limitation and how did
you fixed it, please? (technically, I'm a developer too)
Thank you and have happy and successful year 2014!
Dawid Ferenczy
