Buggy

It has potential but I'm having to do a lot of css work plus a js modification to get the look that supposedly is out of the box. I went to look for help in the forum but though questions are numerous, answers are missing. I bought another plugin of theirs which seems to work fairly well (again with a little css as even they admit height parameter doesn't work in all designs :/ ) but I won't be buying from them anymore. They should spend a little more time on their current library basic functionality.
