All I can say is that this is the greatest CBSubs release ever!

The smart Promotions plugin is awesome!

The conditions for plan workflows is fantastic - the flexibility is just phenomenal!

I am so very excited to see some of the updates made. Especially interested in the CSS for plan layout on the registration page.

I assume I should look into firebug to figure out the new CSS for each plan??

Yes, that's the easiest, and classes are well-named. For plans, we use the plan id inside the name.

But you could already in CBSubs 1.1 onwards, in plan settings, define CSS class for a plan, as well as the CBSubs template to use, allowing to set the formatting in plan settings.
