| Great Banner Tool by kado, June 20, 2008 |

Banner Slider worked right out of the box. The module only took a few minutes to configure. Works well with horizontal and vertical ads. Really like the transition effects, image resizer and ease of use. |
| simplicity, I love it by guusd, June 9, 2008 |

I love this module mainly because of it's simplicity. It does what it says and more. Especially the possibility to show banners from certain clients of categories is very handy.
The only feature I miss is that there is no footnote as with the standard banner module in joomla.

Really easy to install and setup. Install, select position, select transition effect, publish. Job done.
The transition effects are excellent, without having to fuss too much with times for fade in fade out and so on. You have a choice of direction for transition (up, down, left, right) or fade.
If you have a number of static banners that you want to unleash some life into, this is the module for you. Try it, you'll waste hardly any time with it and will see what it can do straight off the bat. |

After having tried another ad rotator for Joomla 1.5 which frankly did not work, it was refreshing to try this one. Don't have much experience with it yet, but it seems to do what it says on the tin. And it validates, except for one small thing: no ALT text for the image. If you could fix it to take the alt text from the banner and show it, it would be awesome! Owner's reply: Image alt attribute will be added in v0.2 final. Thanks |
| Easy to use easy to install by mjl1817, May 21, 2008 |

I installed and had it running without a hitch in less than three minutes! Unlike some of the other ad mods listed this mod worked without a hitch! This has solved my dilemma of having many advertisements and not wanting to clutter up my pages with a large number of links!
Now, one rotating ad space and I can still show all my ads on a page.
Thank you for making this mod! |

This module works in the technical sense. It shows banners without messing up your page or giving errors. However, my experience was that it showed EVERY banner, regardless of how it was set up. The module completely disregarded section and category ID's, and instead showing every banner in the banner directory. I submitted multiple support requests and received no response. After over a month of trying to make this module work, I had to junk it and move on. |
| Compared to XBanners... by tgelvin, March 1, 2008 |

This is far more superior... very easy to configure and it just works... I wanted to see to experiment with it so I copied the module and place the banners on a different part of my website and it worked... I now have more than one area for banners. |
| Excellent by xelaseer, February 19, 2008 |

After trying many other banner extensions I stumbled across this and could not be more pleased. It works very well, looks great and worked without problems on every browser I tried.
The best thing about this module is its excellent integration with the core banners component allowing heavy customisation and loads of features.
Thanks |

I have been trying for days to get content based rotators working to no avail on commercial modules with templates
This one just works in J1.5!. Well done guys. |
| Clean/Easy and works by myou, January 26, 2008 |

After trying many other open source Banner Rotators Joomla modules
This one worked very nice....Easy and clean..Thanks.
- If you'd like to improve it, than a feature of automatically resizing the image to fit in the defined window will be great. |

Am using JoomlaWorks Simple Image Rotator on my Joomla! v1.0.x sites, but unfortunately it does not work (yet) under Joomla! v1.5RC3.
Tried all the other Banner "rotators" listed, but Banner Slider is the only one that worked (properly) and didn't cause display (CSS) issues with my rockettheme.com template under Joomla! v1.5RC3 |
