At first look a good addition to Joomla , however there is a problem with the Max Intro lenght. E.g. if the text says "Bla di bla dibla the 5e" and the max intro length stops at "5e" then everything else that follows is in superscript. So the module does not count only the characters but also the html-code inside the article to the max length, that means that each artivle has a different length, depending on the amount of html code inside the article.

This module does exactly what I needed it for - I'm very impressed
it lays out the articles nicely with the thumbs to the left or right
make for quick work on leading news / event posting I am using as a notifier to frontpage visitors and they really like the thumbnails
if my visitors like it - it gotta be good right?
very easy to use
one thing though I could not get it to point to a section id and a category id simultaneously and display - withing the module settings I could not find this function
One could dig into it and mod it but i only need it to do what it does and it does it just right
Thanks for this developer

My enthusiasm would probably have you to think that I was asked or paid to make the following comments, but I don't even know these guys! LOL! But I've got to tell you, as a web designer, I can create some very, very advanced web layouts. And in such cases, I REALLY need something that doesn't box me into a pre-defined module wrapper. I've had to hack and customize many modules to fit the look and feel of my sites. With this one???? AN ANSWER TO PRAYER! LOL! With the JXTC Deluxe News Module (rightly named "deluxe") I have endless possibilities that are SIMPLE and EASY to use! Man! I just ran across this tonight and I'm ALREADY cooking with grease! Thank you JoomlaXTC team! Y'all rock!

Easy to install, and works well once you do the following...
The developer gives an example of the html that is easy to copy and paste into the module admin section. However, there is a bug in the example given. Images were not being shown alongside the text.
This problem was easily fixed though by deleting the slash before the {link} tag (as shown on the sample code page)
Refer fix thread.

This module works really good. I've been looking for something similar for ages, and till I found this never found anything near.
Because it's version 1.0, I'm gonna tell what I would improve. If you are really bad or null at html (like I am) this will be a bit difficult to configure. You gotta follow the example that they give you in the download section and from there you gotta try some things till you get the result you want. If developers keeps working in this, it would be nice if they could substitute all the html by simple querys like: Image size, font type, etc, etc, instead of having to type all the html or css or whatever is that (sorry, as I said I know nearly nothing about css or html).
But overall, it does what it says, and I really recommend it to those who are looking for something like this.
Thank you developers, and I'll keep looking for updates!
