 * Hi there
 * Been looking for a plugin like this for ages! Your description sounds promising,
   however the install has failed. I got an error message telling me the plugin 
   didn’t have a valid header.
 * The reason for this is that the plugin installs into:
 * /plugins/user-submitted-posts/user-submitted-posts
 * I’ve moved all of the files up one level and am about to start some serious testing.
   Fingers crossed.

 * Could’ve swore I posted this here, but guess not.
 * I ran into the same issue, and moving the files up one has allowed it to work.
 * Other than that the plug-in is working as advertised. I had a bunch of people
   stress test it for me earlier and have yet to hit a snag.

 * Thanks for the feedback. As spidermann points out, the plugin was wrapped with
   an extraneous plugin folder. This has been removed and the plugin should once
   again do its thang.
