R Rowlands (ID: 0000002e9e59faf4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/29/2017 A great app, makes bracket action tags easy and html error free. I have a friend who uses the imgur icon function and since we both have the tools app her imgur icon perfectly replaces the DW icon. She functionally has unlimited icons on a free account with no visual difference between hers and a paid account at all. (But...only if the person viewing her tags also has the tools app. So it's good for characters used in PSLs, not so great for games.)

Kerry Wilkinson (ID: 000000970e8516ca) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/30/2015 I'm not sure what happened recently with Chrome or Dreamwidth but as of today it's stopped working. I have no buttons on the reply boxes and the next page of comments doesn't load.

Jesse Warren (ID: 000000254ee335ed) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/08/2015 It was great, but the buttons stopped showing up with the last Windows update.

Samantha Lim (paperforest) (ID: 00000026b55ae28b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/27/2015 This is a great extension for RPers! However, there is a bug where it won't work if you load Dreamwidth using https://, the buttons simply won't show up at all in the reply form.

Magnus Taliesin (ID: 00000093ab1fbbe9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/18/2015 I love this extension so much - I was having some issues with it the past couple of days, but that's fixed itself one way or another. Great tool for RPers on dreamwidth!
