Updated from addnode_beta to addnode 2.1, and seems lots has changed, but unfortunately it's become unuseable, due to a bug. There's no button or link to add a reference. Where it says "Click Here" is not linked neither are any of the other words, plus no buttons that I can tell.

The other issue I noticed, not really a bug, but I believe is a step back in usability.

You've taken one of the select boxes away.

With the beta it was possible to move references from "Available" to "Current". This prevented accidentally deleting already referenced items.

However with the new setup (unless it's just part of the missing items bug), only shows 1 window of "Available". I did notice that it does have memory of the currently referenced nodes, but soon as you click on one, if you're not holding shift or ctrl then it looses them all. Then it's up to the user to remember them all, and there was no point in the field memory to begin with.

The 2 boxes were ugly, but very functional, I believe a usability necessity when multi select is involved.

And of course Autocomplete support would be the icing on top. I'll make a feature request with some ideas...

As for now, I'd just be happy to have it functional again, might have to go back to the beta.

This was my fault, because the dependency on node assist was removed, it didn't let me know that it needed to be enabled. I went ahead and enabled it. At that time I noticed that there is an add-image that should be in the module folder that's missing.

Which caused every link to say "Add Image"

I went into the code where this is, and changed it to "Add Reference" for now, till I either make an image, or one gets included.

I checked the beta version of the code, and noticed that to have the dual box functionality with ordering that it was a very large chunk of code that was removed. However I stand behind my opinion that it was extra user friendly. The ordering feature was also very helpful.
