It simply does the job, nothing more, nothing less.
You can choose between last posts, or last topics, to suit your needs.
Indeed the current versions uses the short_subject from SMF, which is limited at 23 characters.
Despite the option to set the maximum length of the topic or post. This is bit poor, but it still is a great and simple solution which does the job.
Since it does what is says, and the only regret is the limited characters in the links, but it still functions the way it's supposed to, I'll rate it with Good, a future adjustment of the 23 character limit immediately upgrades it to excellent for me.
Compliments and thanks towards the developer.

VirtueMart
    Easy 2 handle Shopping cart, December 24, 2006 |

Since the last upgrade, the virtuemart shop convinced me that this really is the shopping cart solution to use.
Use it for a while now and it is stable, and easy to handle.
Offcourse it is still a wok in progress and always can be improved,.. but what isn't?
For downloads only, or for products which needs to be shipped, this shop is a great solution. It's easy to handle and needs almost no explanation for the shop holder.
For multi lingual and/or international shops... I don't know if this is what you should use. But as long as you use 1 language and a differsity of shipping- and payingmethods, this does the job.
It can't be compared to OSCommerce, yet, since it's much younger, and new features regularly come out. And Virtuemart has an integrated CMS solution which OSCommerce can't offer, the strength of Joomla!
At the end the best plus for me and most joomla users is the seamless integration with our favorite CMS.

Letterman Newsletter Component
Great newsletter solution, July 28, 2006 |
Great newsletter solution, integrates perfectly, import en export userlist ability.
Easy to send both html and text version.
Missing (or haven't found) the ability to mail 1 person, or a few persons without using to whole subscribers list.
The ability to mail only editors/autors etc is already present.
Overall a great newsletter module, I do recommend it!
Keep up the good work! And thanks for this stable and clean solution!

Perfect solution with extended capability!, June 30, 2006 |

Respect for the developers!
Great usermanagement tool, adds a lot of extended capability, very userfriendly, and a lot potential!
In development are some great (already (stable) working) plugins like for phpbb forum and galleries etc.
Takes over the usermanagement from joomla without affecting anything, cooperating perfectly.
Extend your user profiles, users can easily edit them theirselves. If preferred optional fields keep oversight of actions under userprofiles (like users' articles, posts, etc).
Adds a manageable memberlist. Easy to define extra tabs with info about the user like; a curriculum vitea; car-details; company info; software info; etc. etc.
I definitly would recommend it, especially for those who want to have more specialized usermanagement!
Cheer, compliments!

Letterman Newsletter Component
Great simple and effective newsletter solution!, June 12, 2006 |
Easy integration, easy installation. Immediately adopts the css used.
Little feature request:
- unsubscribe function uses username and email address without any security
- Anyone can delete any user from the list when the combination username and email address is known
For example a simple confirmation email, or demanding the user to login first would prevent abuse. An other way is to generate a hash-link, so every subscribed user receives a personal unsubscription link.
Beside this "security" issue, it's a great module/component!
