More about me and my plugins
Since the year 1999 I do administration, customizing and programming for several forums, communities and social networks. In the year 2013 I switched from another PHP framework to WordPress. 
Because not all plugins I’d like to have exist already I wrote some own plugins and I think I’ll continue to do so.
If you have the scope at forums or social networks my other modules might also be interesting for you. <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=quan_flo" title="ifs-net / quan_flo WordPress Plugins" rel="ugc">Just take a look at my WordPress Profile to see all my Plugins.</a> Use them and if my work helps you to save time, earn money or just makes you happy feel free to donate – Thanks.
