Thank تشکر

خوبه that’s good

Works as advertised

Does exactly what it says. I’m using it on a 4.4.2 installation and have found it useful to update people on my news – I just edit the Author field in my Profile, and any promos etc are shared on the fly.

Fast to configure with all the features.

Everything works out well except the border around the picture. Give an option to turn it on or off. My -2 only for that!
