Andy1,

They both work for me. The slight difference that I can see is this (at least to my ears, as a technical writer/editor and an American):

- This feature is not currently supported (... but it may be in the future, so there's some hope)
- This feature is currently not supported (... why'd you want to do something that's not supported?)

I've exaggerated what I've put in parentheses, and neither of the sentences screams out those things. And not everyone would agree with what I've put there. But I prefer the first one, which does seem a tad nicer to me.

Hope this is helpful.
They both work, but the 2nd one sounds better to me.

I get the same sense from it. It seems similiar to saying "This feature is not yet supported". I am not sure if that's a correct intrepretation but that's the difference I sense between the wording.

It does to me, too.
The first ! But I'd definitely prefer "yet" instead of "currently".
