 * Hi,
 * Could you please make the `input[type="submit"]` selector more descriptive as
   otherwise the `!important` rule now overrides other styles defined in the site
   stylesheets.
 * Thanks!

 * Dear nobug,
 * Please remove the !important from \spider-faq\elements\style.css file. This should
   fix the issue. Thank you.

 * Hi Support Web-Dorado,
 * Thank you for your reply.
 * While I’ve already fixed the issue locally, your suggestion is a no-go as it “
   should fix the issue” until the next plugin update, when the stylesheet will 
   be overwritten.
    I think the `!important` rule in question may be unnecessary
   at all because it appears that it is overridden via more specific selectors on
   both “submit” buttons (e.g. `.searchform #srbuts2`). Or, alternatively the same
   wrapper element (`.searchform`) can be used.
