Hmmm... maybe I forgot something, I need to take a look at the plugin. But last
time I checked, in plugins/karma/pluginkarma.class.php you can find methods such
as getPositiveUrl(), getNegativeUrl(), etc. They don't work?

Also, does the $karma object exist at all?

GOod to hear that the performance improvements are noticeable :)

Let me know if you have any other question!
