[Plugin: Tabber Tabs Widget] Dangerous! Broke my sidebar

As soon as I activated this plugin, all my existing widgets were sent down to the inactive widget storage area, and some were deleted. I decided to try it anyway and then move my widgets back in place later. I followed directions and placed three text widgets in tabber tabbed widget area. The other tabber widget said they would show up there. They didn’t. Since the developer has apparently abandoned this project and there is nothing on his website about it, I decided not to waste time screwing around trying to figure this out and deactivated it. Now I’m wasting time rebuilding my sidebar. Say “no thanks” and move far away from this piece of s**t.

And while I’m on a roll, it would sure be helpful to the WordPress community if real, functional plugins were all that were available to be used. It would also be helpful if there were a filter to only show plugins that are compatible with my current version of WordPress.
