Well its an unfortunate state of affairs at the moment with D7 as this is how it seems to be working. Things that dont work but should on D7 can be fixed with a bought Mod. Scandalous maybe, depends how desperate you are for things to work. Some mod makers are indeed cashing in on this, instead of fixing the thing in the first place. I too refuse to use D7 because of the rip you off attitude that seem to be prevalent at the moment. (and the fact that D7 fundamentals just doesn't work despite, the see more hype...

You know the catch phrase on here though

SOON!

I aint holding my breath though... :-)
