WOW! You have no business making a plugin THIS GOOD!
I have a growing directory website where making changes to a listing is like administrative acrobatics or a phone-based tech support endurance challenge.
NO MORE! Now I can just log in as the user having the issue and do it myself! This saves me SO MUCH TIME!
Thank you thank you THANK YOU!
