Great Plugin! Use it often

Hard to find a pop up plugin that you don’t have to use their form on! I just needed something I could design myself so this is great!

Very good plugin for WordPress.

Слишком много багов

Работает не корректно: Основное окно прыгает по ширине из-за скролбара. Модальное окно появившись мгновенно исчезает. Т.е. плагин не работоспособен.
