Thanks a lot for letting me know, I had some troubles with the server and I had to move all the web page to a different one, download link updated, sorry for the incoveniences. BTW in a couple of days v1.6 will be available with new options :)

It's easy to use
My only hope is that in the future it will support Joomla Wrappers.
For example: My Joomla Menu item for my forum loads my forums within the site's wrapper.
Unfortunately, when a user clicks on a link inside this module, it opens the forums without a wrapper. But this is a small problem, and the module works very well otherwise!
Good work!
Hi troykristoffer, thanks for the review. There can't be any support added for the wrapper. It should be the wrapper or the theme the one that supports links to the "application" it contains. Check the joomla forum or support for more info.
users would be satisfied if the arrangement vBSEO
That's right, the module does not have vBSEO support. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try to have it ready for the next release. Anyway if you have some time, it would be helpful if you (or anybody) can tell me how are the vBSEO URL's for the forum, topic, message and user. Thanks :)
Thanks for the review.
The support to specify the class suffix as well as an specific class for the module have been added in v1.3 which is now in test and will be available to download in about a week.
Anyway at the moment it works with the joomla default css styles which is class=module.
