This was the missing element for any community Joomla driven site like mine.

Firstly, it emphasises that the site 'has' users by displaying their avatars and other details in mootools bubble tips (I've placed it in the module position in the right column). At the same time, encourages them to update their profiles with additional info, something I've noticed since the installation.

Secondly, it gives them a good resource when seeking out other users with stacks of customisable options through the backend.

Although the task of setting it up seamed daunting for someone with limited knowledge of MySQL, like me, Roger was very helpful (and patient) and provided assistance whenever needed. This is a very classy addition to Joomla and extremely useful. Highly recommended!
