steven  - Re: Adding extra functions |SAdministrator |2010-08-24 23:18:14 Hi Prosatya, I'm afraid I've not installed Version 2.2.0 Beta 1. Perhaps this feature hasn't been fully implemented in this latest version. You can certainly download version 2.1.0 from here if that helps, alternatively you might want to try contacting the Project Fork developers directly? Thanks for the comment! Reply 0 0
