Its not a bad component, not as polished as mediawiki but it still does its job.

Where the Joomla core Syndicate and all the other rss components failed, this one is the one that actually WORKED!!

Excellent forum component, great features, whats there not to like?

Wasn't the greatest component to be honest. I used it for quite a while and it worked, but then there were numerous problems like it putting spaces in links where there weren't supposed to be spaces, and stuff like that. I ended up switching to JomComment which worked very nicely :)

I downloaded and installed the latest version of this extension along with the required patched files and it works great with many configuration options. For the n00bs, heres how you install it:

1) Go to this page:
http://www.waltercedric.com/component/option,com_docman/task,cat_view/gid,291/Itemid,64/

2)Download and install the "com_securityimages" file using the Joomla Component Installer

3)From the same page, download the correct patch version for your version of Joomla (e.g. 1.0.14).

4) Backup your Joomla installation

5) Copy over the files from the patch archive into your root Joomla directory

6) You're ready to rumble! Lots of it comes default configured, and you can get a wide array of additional options through the "Security Images" component control panel.

This worked great for me, and its the best one I've tested because you don't need to add an additional module, you patch the existing one which makes it much easier because the ones that come in separate modules, you have to go through and manually change some of the links to the Log in and register pages!
