Professional Support System
Support is very important to me. I know what it is like to get bad customer service, which is why I will do my best to answer every single question as quickly and best as I can (monitored all week, including most weekends). I have set up an exclusive support system at http://cubell.ticksy.com where you will be able to leave tickets to ask questions, report bugs or make suggestions and also see answers to other past questions.
Unfortunately, I am not able to provide individual customizations to customers (paid or otherwise), but depending on my existing workload I may still be able to at the very least, provide some basic advice about how to achieve whatever customization is sought after.
Suggestions for future updates?
Please let me know of any features that may be missing, I will be looking to add more features in future updates, and hearing from users directly will help me decide which ones to add.
