Yes the updates definitely fixed the issues. This is a great plugin and our users are exited about the functionality. I do have a question on the ability to limit the types of posts notifications sent via SMS. Are you planning on adding a feature to manage post categories or authors?
I am having the same issues with special codes. Here is an example of the codes I am using: {post_title} from {post_author} {post_url} The URL works but the rest of the codes show up as {xxx_xxxxx} instead of the expected text.
