Magento Import Extension - magento

Has anybody used this import extension before? http://www.ayasoftware.com/content/how-import-configurable-products-csv-file-magento-system#attachments It seems to work pretty good, apart from it's not importing images for me, it's really annoying :-(
If anybody has had it working or can help in anyway I'd be really gratefull.
Meant to say using Magento 1.6.1

We've now binned that extension, and simply just manuall uploading the products.

Issue with Magento Categories - redirects from URL to home

I am having a very strange issue with Magento.
I skinned the install for a client, and everything has been working fine. I used a pre-built theme for this skin, and made some minor changes - but none at all to the system, or core files of Magento.
The issue I am facing is that anything I go to www.siteexample.com/shop/category/view/id/9 for example, or it's Rewrite URL of www.siteexample.com/shirts.html - it redirects to the homepage, or gives me a 404.
Going directly to a product for example, works just fine.
Has anyone ever faced a similar issue? There is not much else I can offer. If there is a log that I can check to provide more info, please let me know and I will provide it.
Thanks in advance. Really puzzling.

I am a new developer and i searched for tools that i can use to design websites more efficient, and i came across http://imageholdr.com, anyone used it before? They say that i can add pictures easy on my website without downloading them or so.
I tried to use http://imageholdr.com/500x500 and it worked on my website, but i want to use category and it doesn't work i don't know why can anyone help me setup this? The site instructions are that i must use

You misread the instructions. The correct url is just http://imageholdr.com/500x500/cars/.

Drupal:After installing boost module, images are not uploaded in files/imagecache

Title explains it pretty much. After installing Boost module, i have troubles with uploading images. I can upload them, but only thumbnails are saved. Big image in sites/default/files/imagecache is not created. I tried to play with permissions, but didnt work. I have no idea where the problem is. What did boost module change that images cant be uploaded?
What shall I do?
This is critical. I tried to uninstall the module, but the problem still persists.
Boost is not the issue here. If the module is uninstalled and you still have a problem then it's not Boost. To be 100% sure make sure to get rid of the htaccess rules. I have not idea why people like to blame boost but it does happen.

Downgrading Magento

I'm using Magento 1.4.1.1 for my webstore. The payment processor supports only 1.4.0.0. I realized this only just now when I was dreaming up of opening the store. Duh! Poor planning.
What's the way out?
Will downgrading help? Wat are the implications of that?
Thanks for any and all inputs.
I am not aware of anyone ever having successfully downgraded Magento. That said, a few considerations:
Are you using version control like you should be? If so, you should have a copy of the site and database from just before the upgrade. You should be able to use this as a starting point. This is your most optimistic route by far.
If no version control, you can download both of the versions and use diff to get the changes. Doing this in reverse theoretically creates a backwards patch.
If you've stayed out of the core code entirely, the code change could be nearly as simple as replacing app/code/core.
Even if you do downgrade the code, the data structures between versions have probably changed, so you'll need someone experienced to find those changes and tell you have to back-patch your database. This is, to say the least, perilous.
Overall, I wouldn't want to undertake this task. As Anton said in the comments, you'll probably have an easier time getting integration done than reverting the changes.
Best of luck!
Thanks,
Joe
