Ultimate PNG Fix Plugin (for IE up to version 6.x)
    Fixes AND Breaks, July 14, 2008 |
I have yet to find a PNG fix that actually fixes background PNG's consistently. This one works most of the time (still not all the time though), but the problem is that it breaks a lot of other stuff.
PNG's that are non-background images can be stretched until they're totally unrecognizable.
Also, every link, radio button, and submit button on the page becomes useless pictures and text.
Most of the forums on this site are very active, except for the one addressing this extension; it's all but dead. There have only been a few post in the last 9 months, and they're all unanswered questions.
To make matters worse, this extensions breaks other extensions that this same company makes! If you use Frontpage Slideshow, it won't work with this extensions unless you hack it. Granted, it doesn't require a lot of hacking, but it shouldn't require ANY hacking. Doesn't JoomlaWorks test their extensions with each other to ensure they all work together?
I've seen a lot of great extensions and support out of this company, and I never thought I'd be writing a bad review for one of these guys' products. I'm sorry to say that this one is SEVERELY lacking. I'm both surprised and disappointed.

It Works!, June 24, 2008 |
One of my greatest frustrations in web design is that I have found very few png fixes that actually work. This one acutally works ... until you check ie7. The png's are still transparent, but everything image gets badly distorted.
I've not rated this extension because it looks like it could be great if the ie7 issue gets worked out, and I don't want to give it a bad name.

I won't give a rating, because maybe I'm just missing something obvious, but suffice it to say that I am not a newbie to Joomla.
I installed this component, went to set it up, and couldn't figure out how to activate it. It looked like the author doesn't speak english as a first language, because the directions didn't make much sense. After 30 minutes of testing, reading, headscratching, etc., I uninstalled this component.

Most of this extension is straight forward, but there are a few things that aren't (like how to actually get it on your site). There is no help guide, just a link to the FireBoard forums. They are VERY eager to let you know what the latest updates are! Links to news on the latest releases can be found on every page, but good luck trying to find a user guide.
I posted several times in their forums, trying to find a help guide, or at least instructions on how to get this board onto my site. Not only did I not get any reply, but one of my threads was deleted! No notification or anything, it was simply deleted. I noticed a few other posters there with similar questions, and they were also going unanswered. Sorry guys, but my experience with your support department was underwhelming at best.
