 * The credits is off, means that is not valid.

 * Hi pipaspj,
 * The link is optional and not active, in order to appear the link you in your 
   site you need to check the ‘Author Credits’ checkbox.

 * When the webmaster dont check the ‘Author Credits’ checkbox, the plugin puts 
   an hidden link in the page. Not in the footer, but in the head, You can see the
   code above.

 * The author credits link was broken, now is everything fixed and no external link
   is displayed.
 * We have update to a newest version and now is working as it must be.
 * Download the new version and test it your self.

 * lucades,
 * I just looked at the diff from svn and the only change made was in readme.txt
 * I’m trying to understand how the author credit option works. If it’s checked 
   that means it shows but if not it gets hidden with style display:none?
 * Even if the user doesn’t opt in to your credit link it is still there in the 
   src and being read by search engines. The option needs to completely remove it
   from the html not just hide it with css.
