So am I to understand that if we want option 2 as per the email, and as was thought to be automatically happening for previous customers, we now need to donate via the website?

And as per Jabbers' post, it looks like the new version is missing features we previously had?

Perhaps getting some of the more experienced users, who have been known to help people troubleshoot, to do some reviews on this new version might convince me to donate a higher value than the minimum.

Presently, I'm not convinced its worth the move. Jabbers, does the original Simple Trade Bot still work with the new version installed?
