Arvid Linde (ID: 000000f4c17838ee) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/17/2023 Surely, the author must realise that this add-on doesn't work at all? I've been trying it relentlessly with different tables, making sure the tables are actually proper tables, not divs - and it just does absolutely nothing. Completely useless.
