theone Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 I though this would have been fixed by now... Would this also explain the first 2 issues as well? (preclear button not responding and retrieving information not completing) Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Preclear script and plugin are two different things, script is not maintained for a long time and last release needs to be patched but after that it works, the plugin currently has issues and doesn't work correctly for many users.
