This one is a very helpful and easy to customize module. I had a little problem as it refused to accept email addresses including "-" (minus) but contacting the developer he sent me the solution in no time.
Thumbs up & Thank you!

Howere it would be great if you could provied PDF and E-mail to friend and social bookmarking this like AddThis in the module.

Though I am already using this on my site.

Thank you very much for great extension.
Owner's reply

Dear Omar! Thank you for this great module. That's exactly what I need, it does an excellent job. I made the Hungarian translation which I would like to share with you.
Owner's reply

Thank you very much for your great rating :)
and thank you for the translation, it was added since version 1.x.6.
make sure to check out version 1.5.7 for many more additions such as (social bookmarking) and (save page as PDF)

finally a simple and good-working module for something that should be standard.

The only thing I miss is a 'module class suffix' that allows me to present it in the layout of my site..
Owner's reply

you wont miss that anymore :)
versions 1.0.4 and 1.5.4 have a Module Class Suffix just for your eyes.
thanks for the great rating ;)

This was very useful and exactly what I was looking for.

I got the newest version I guess and it works great with my 1.5.8 install. The only thing I would improve is having the option to add it as a menu link so I could include it in the main menu area (unless I somehow missed this capability).

I am using a virtuemart ja_larix version which has a non-standard main menu and so I wasn't able to put it in that where I wanted but it still works great and I found a nice little place for it anyway. :)

Thanks very much for this great little app.
Owner's reply

you are most welcome..
since this is a module, and not a component, you can't place it in your main menu, it has to be in a separate module..

Nice looking and handy module, but it produced many xhtml compliance errors. Clean up the code and it's perfect.
Owner's reply

versions 1.0.3 and 1.5.3 and above are now compatible with XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

Brilliant Job, easy installation, work perfect with the most browsers, thanks Omar!!!
Owner's reply

you are welcome.
thank you for your nice words and the great rating ;)

This module is better than another module Bookmarks Joomla! 1.5 which claims to do the similar job but not.

Hope the author of this module add those backend parameters to the language file so that we can make complete translations.

In addition, if possible, please use .ini format language file since this is the standard of Joomla! 1.5.

Thanks.

Very nice, very simple to install! Some extra configuration in module proprieties (nice...).

There's a little bug in Italian: the xml file install italian.php but in zip file there is the Italian.php file, so some linux server for caps sensitive report an error, for workaround this do:

1) unzip the package
2) rename Italin.php in italian.php
3) zip all the file

However great work! Compliments!
Owner's reply

this bug has been fixed
thank you for your kind words.
stay tuned for the next release with even more features!

An excellent Module. Easy to download, easy to install, works great and fits in nicely with the rest of the site.

well done on a great module.
Owner's reply

thank you very much for your kind words.
please see the new versions with better support for browsers and added languages.

This is a little nifty extension that requires further debugging and development. At the moment, only the functions "Add Site to Favorites" and "Print Page" seem to work in IE7. In Opera, nothing but "Print Page" works.

The icons are lovely and add a nice touch to the extension, which will undoubtedly or hopefully improve with time.
Owner's reply

check out the new versions 1.0.1 and 1.5.1 which have support for opera.
