   Yes, even I was surprised to see that his plugins were ready for wordpress 2.8. Opensource works because of dedicated people like him.

   Lester is the bomb! I emailed him about a plugin conflict last weekend and he’d emailed me back within a few short hours – now they’re working nicely thanks to his timely advice.

   You’re right, if more people like Lester turned their efforts toward Open Source, there wouldn’t BE a question about whether to use open source or not – ’cause that’s all there would be.

     I have also had similar experiences with him as well.

   I haven’t seen that the documentation on GamerZ’s site has been updated for his latest plugins. I know they support WordPress 2.8, but does that mean a) that the older versions did not, or b) that the newer ones do not support WordPress 2.7?

   @Bonochromatic @netster Thanks for the compliments 🙂

   @Kenji I just updated it. It will support WP2.8 only.

   Yep, I was impressed as well… although I didn’t notice any problems with the older versions on 2.8

   I have used Lester Chan’s WP-PageNavi plugin for a long time and it is admirable how quickly he updates the plugins to work with each release. very commendable.

   I’d like to see the plug-in and theme authors to pay more attention to valid HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I found myself editing a plugin or two just to make my pages validate or render without small js errors. Interestingly, plugins, which required fixes came from bigger companies rather than from individual developers.

   Also, and this is a bigger topic, I’d like to see the new queuing functions for CSS and JavaScript to output all of these elements in each respective queue output via a single request with some minification applied (white space and CR/LF removed at least). Thus reducing the number of HTTP requests and improving page performance.

   When I just uploaded both the Download Manager and the Post Ratings plugins, the widgets were removed during the installation but are no longer available. Is this normal? I can’t find d/l links for the latest versions of the widgets.

    This is the best place to salut + congratulate Lester Chan ‘GaMerZ’ for his outstanding plugins that made many normal WordPress users like me satisfied with their blogs.

    Thanks so much, GaMerZ 🙂

    Well, well. Lester was very fast, however their plug-ins (version 2.40) worked well for WordPress 2.8 Baker too.

    @Joe @Ted @Hicham
    Thanks for the compliments =)

    @Shane
    The widget has now been merge with the main plugin file so that you do not have to activate 2 plugins anymore =)

    @Webdev
    Yeap, 1.40 will work with WP2.8 as well. 1.50 focus on loading JS in the footer as well as the new widget class.
