Oh!! The list is huge!!

TY (Thank You)

This is true I guess there is more that could be included then Forum Lover

care to add some more that are not in that list bac (by any chance)

IPIOMOF - I posted it on my own forum though at the time had the no link or image posting until 15 posts have been made addon installed and as was starting up wasn't able to post the link back but intend to as I like giving credit where credit is due.

IPIOMOF-EV I posted it on my own forum edited version

If I had posted it on my own Blog I could have said

IPIOMOB-EV

I dont know for sure but it could even be

IPIOMOF-EDVRS

Or some such similar abbreviation that could perhaps make more sense for various factors/reasons
