Support

Sorry, but I don’t have the time to offer free support for this! If you’re really stuck, consider hiring me through Peacock Carter, or take a look at my MediaWiki Skins Design book.

If you find a bug, I’d love to know, so contact me and I’ll fix it and upload the newer version as soon as I can.
