No idea, unfortunately. It has been nearly 15 years since I worked there.

almost had a heart attack thinking this was relating to BuddyPress. But just looking at the Screencast, this really looks like a good tutorial regarding jQuery.

I keep saying this but I do really need to subscribe and sign up for the full works, all these tutorials sound great its just getting the time of day to work through them.
I get subscribed this weekend I think.
( )Awesomedude April 9th
don’t you think net tuts and PLUS are pushing really hard to sell subscriptions?
( )Maybe if they lower the price a bit I will subscribe, but there are A LOT of places that you can get the same info for FREE.
Anyway, just my two cents.

I’m subscribed but struggled to find time to watch so far! But I think it’s worth it myself, I really enjoy the tutorials.
( )Sam Frost April 9th
Why having a screencast on something ready available for free and easy to implement?

Sorry to say but so far the subscription as been disappointing

It’s not really about the plugin, it’s about learning jQuery so you can eventually write your own plugins.
