NOTE: Joomla 1.5 version released!
CHANGELOG:
Version 1.3, For UTF-8 support, Slick RSS now uses the slick and fast RSS Parser from simplepie.org
Version 1.4: Even better configuration options and support for international characters.
Version 1.5: Version for Joomla 1.5
Specifically, related to character display, Slick RSS 1.4 will now :
1) Optionally override your default Joomla encoding with the RSS feed encoding. (default=disabled (1.3)
2) Enable or disable the translation of characters from the RSS feed into your default Joomla encoding charset. (default=enabled (1.4))
If this module helps you out, please give feedback. Thanks!
Update: I have setup a new support forum at : http://joomla.daveslist.co.nz/forum
Please direct support questions there.

this module works very fine specially that tool-tip. Just one thing for some servers, include line ini_set("display_errors","off"); in tmpl/default.php

Couldn't have been easier! Looks and performs as advertised. Thanks!!

Easy to install and configure. I use it to display the latest blog content on my website (one feed).
I did run into an issue with too much spacing between the title and item description, but found a solution on the forum: LINK REMOVED
I'm using a YOOtheme template, which has as custom.css file. I added the code I got from the above link to this file and shortly thereafter found the spacing issue was resolved.
I would recommend this module.
What I would like to see in the next version is a way to make the title of the module a hyperlink.

Works great out of the box but I would suggest adding t.php file in the tmpl folder. This will keep the LI from going outside of your module template.

Great RSS module/plugin - does exactly what it says and does it stylishly. Now I'm just waiting for the multiple feeds support in Joomla 1.5. Overall recommended.

Less than 1 minute setup and looks great on my homepage, just what I was looking for!

I woke up one morning to find the feed is coming from some random guy and I can't change it. An update is in order.

Super easy to use, loved the video install steps.

Had it running in seconds, Does what it says, a few items could still be added, like date and ability to list multiple feeds but hey its free.

A very simple, user friendly module which is easy to set up. The markup is clean and simple, so easy to style (however the inline style declaration doesn't help IMHO).
It would be great if the developer could include support for including the date in a subsequent official release (this is the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars). However, instructions are available on the developer's forum, if you need to add date support.

I must be missing something! It does not display 5 different feeds (confirmed in the so call Support Forum).
It displays very poorly.
And as for Support. There are a total of 107 threads of which 34 remain (YES, 30%) unanswered!!!

Owner's reply
Displaying multiple feeds per module instance in the 1.5 version is due in the next release. As for the support forum, I'm a single developer working for free and do what I can, I appreciate that other people may help in the forum with questions, though I will answer when I can.

Module is good,but I don't like option who allow to change external links from follow to nofollow.Those people who give rss feed hardly work on content and someone is get all content for nofollow links.I think it's not fair.

This module is just fantastic. It provides an elegant display for your RSS. I needed a module that allows me to change the rss feeds links to internal and this one did the trick for me.
Also, to display the dates on the module you may have to hack the module files, but in the forum there are VERY clear instructions on how to accomplish this... quite simple and easy to customize (even for non php users).
Slick RSS won my vote!

Very nice module in a number of ways. As someone else said, it doesn't display dates of RSS entries.
My prinicipal gripe is that CSS customization is not easy (in fact, I can't get it to work right.) There is minimal CSS access in the tool (tool tips, if you use them), and to change the CSS for RSS displays you need to go back to your main template and add some parameters.
But those parameters are not documented. One user offers some documentation in a blog somewhere - if you can find it - but when I tried those tricks, they didn't work for me.
