I should also note that it caused so much catastrophic damage to everything else that I use, that I have had to delete everything, uninstall and reinstall Joomla, and rebuild everything from scratch....
So yes, this was very much a failed experiment. I guess it could work well on a site that is ONLY using this for social networking and doesn't have a lot of other functionality, but I don't have the time, patience or inclination to try and figure out how to make something work.
So I'd really appreciate a response about when I can expect to see that money back in my account.
Thanks.
