    I wanted to rate this plugin a negative -5 stars, but they won’t let you! Worst plugin ever now with zero common sense! Even support is not answering specific questions about if they are stealing our subscribers with their new update that ties in with ReadyGraph. I bet there are, so beware and don’t install this plugin, unless you like your blog subscribers to be taken to be used for their marketing purposes!

    The original developer was doing a great job with this plugin, but he decided it was time to sell it to some idiot at ReadyGraph. When you get the updates for this thing, there is a huge harassing banner telling you to sign up for ReadyGraph! The only way to get rid of it is to sign up for their ReadyGraph Service, which offers to take your subscribers and peddle stupid offers to them.

    Sure they installed a close button on the banner, but the dammmn thing keeps coming back. And if you sign up for ReadyGraph, it means you just handed all your blog subscribers over to them so they can market to your subscribers! How rude is that? I never seen such a great plugin go to waste. It’s total greed of course!

    So to solve the issue and keep from trying to instill some common sense, I’ve switched to another free plugin that does what I want and doesn’t have some harassing banner telling me to sign up for some stupid service like ReadyGraph. Have fun guys with your little charades and thanks for screwing up a perfectly good plugin.

    Why didn’t you try to contact the plugin’s author about this by posting a topic in the plugin’s dedicated sub-forum?

    I did several times and not one time did I get an answer. They only answer what they want to answer. There are many others in the support forum asking a pointed question and the team is not answering. They are avoiding the issue of our subscribers being taken to be used for their personal gain with their new ReadyGraph interface. Another fine example of a great plugin going to greed.

    I can see your posting history and you have not posted a single topic in the plugin’s support forum since you open your account here 3 years ago.

    That is not your topic. These forums have guidelines. Please read them. As you will see, one of these guidelines – entitled Where to Post – specifically states:

    Unless you are using the same version of WordPress on the same physical server hosted by the same hosts with the same plugins, theme & configurations as the original poster, do not post in someone else’s thread. Start your own topic.

    So I guess I was suppose to start a new thread with the same topic? The topic was titled “Readygraph banner?”.

    With all these plugin updates, we’ve experienced a bunch of ##$$ pain. People were starting to see an annoying banner and wondered what was going on, so they go to the support forum and see a thread already started and many left a comment. Then we started asking specific questions about the integration with ReadyGraph and the treatment of our subscribers, but nothing was answered. Even us emailing ReadyGraph didn’t help…no response.

    So I guess we should of all started our own thread titled “Readygraph banner?” It doesn’t make sense to me since we were all complaining about the same thing…the biggest one was with us fighting with that banner and not knowing what it was for…there was no explanation at all that it was coming. BTW the banner is still there even after they told us it was fixed.

    I guess I’m not seeing why would we need to create a dozen or so topics around the same topic? That would be confusing to me as a developer. But no worries, I found a better solution.

    And I’m not the only one that got fed up…take a look at the review under mine.

    Simple fix if you already have an earlier version without ReadyGraph installed: Don’t update.

    The new version certainly does email your subscribers of new post updates however they also use your list to market Clickbank products.

    Example below. They call it the sponsor ad and if you are also trying to market similar items its not good for your userbase to see this type of email:

    ———-SPONSOR AD———-
    http://bloggpro.massppv.euchre24.hop.clickbank.net/ Discover the Insider Secrets
    to Quickly and Easily Building Your Own HUGE Opt-In List of Hungry Subscribers.
    ——————————————

    That email was only sent today by ReadyGraph and already it shows the message when clicked “This site is no longer in service or has been disabled due to a terms of service violation.”

    Just stick with subscribe2
