Hi Will,

I posted the message on the ViewMyCurrency Mozzilla addon page about the conflict with Update Notifier https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=2098 Produces error ViewMyCurrency: Failed to find GUI element WILL_hideOrignal

OK, I was using 0.38 version, so I uninstalled 0.38, restarted FF, installed 0.3891 from hamstersoup, restarted FF, installed Update Notifier, Restarted FF and all is well. No conflicts. Thanks Will

Dear RH, thanks for letting me know about the Brunch Club problem. It’s because there are $ symbols in the comments in the HTML. But there is no point in converting the comments. I should just ignore them.
Added to the ToDo list.

hi, i wanted to inform you about a page, where VMC fails utterly:

goto http://www.tchibo.de and click on “Brunch Club” (on the top, to the left). the problems seems to be that VMC interpretes ANY number as a US dollar amount.

best regards, rh
