I've use to really love persona theme rotator.

Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.

I'm NOT happy with the so-called improvement ie updates to Persona Rotator at all!!!! The older versions of Persona Rotator 2.0 to 5.9 allowed me to choose what personas I wanted to rotate. There used to be individual boxes that one could put a check mark to show which personas you wanted to rotate. Now the choices are only "Featured" and "My Favorites". Unless things have changed I know the ONLY way that you could show your favorites was to log-in to Personas and that didn't appeal to me so I would just choose the categories that I liked such as fashion, art, nature etc. Since version 5.8 I no longer have that option. Is there a way to fix this issue???

I figured out a semi-fix to this problem. :)

I had to downgrade to update to Personas Plus 1.6.2 and downgrade to Persona Rotator 2.5. I still don't have the box which allowed me to check-mark all the things I like at once but at least now I have a drop-down list and I can click on at least one category of personas I want to see. That's a hell of lot better than what I had before.

P.S.

Firefox 23.0 isn't compatible with Persona Plus 1.6.2 but it still works by works. To clarify I mean I can click on the persona rotate next button and it will rotate to the next theme. However, if you upgrade to Firefox 23.0.1 the rotate next button no longer works. Also, if you DON'T want your Personas Plus 1.6.2 and Persona Rotator 2.5 updating then make sure you click the updates "off" box for both of them.
