This is a great and easy to use commenting system..the way it should be
but......
I want to rate the component so much higher...but many sites are just absolutely crippled without this functioning properly on the latest version of Joomla.
Our websites RELY SOLEY ON USERS SPENDING TIME ON MY SITE ARGUING AND COMMENTING....and I dont think that I am alone.
Without a functional commenting system my users read and leave...traffic is dropping on our new Joomla 1.7/2.5 installs.
I dont want to abandon a component I use and LOVE on many sites but what can be done? I dont want to put off upgrading any longer.
Please release the a version compatible with the latest Joomla versions

did what it said it would do. i was able to modify some of the settings, make edits to the default template and was done. quick and easy.
Great extension. Any idea when it will support Joomla 1.7?
Since day one I had no problems with this component - integration or ongoing.
By now, I've been using it almost 2 years.
Integrates with other components in a snap! Originally I had LyftenBloggie on my site and used it's own comment system, which is not bad, but I wanted to make it so I can manage ALL comments from whole site in one place. JComments imported LB comments with no issues at all!
Plus, support is just great! I am in the process of rearranging my whole site and will move away from using LB all together, so again, support is amazing!
Thank you, Smart!!

I'm from Brasil, and I'm using JComments for the last year in a online News Portal. The extension is perfect, runs quickly, is easy to configure, clean, and gives a professional aspect do the site. I suggest the functionality: Editor's Comment, in wich the Editor can insert a comment detached in any article, no needed create a profile only for this.
The best comments component from any existing commercial or free components. It's free. Very easy to install. Users love it. Users recognize it.
Support many components. Thanks for your work!

Jcomment offers everything you want and the support is very good. What else can I say?
I have been using JComments on my Joomla 1.5 site for some time. I have now migrated my site to Joomla 1.7, but JComments still isn't available for 1.7, or even 1.6. This puts me in a very difficult position where I have to choose to between not releasing my updated site or releasing it without all the comments.
The beta for Joomla 1.6 was released in May 2010. That was a year and a half ago. It is now almost 2012 and there is still no JComments version for Joomla 1.6!
In the JComments forum, the author said that he would release it before November and then he came back in December and now claims that he will release it December. The Joomla 2.5 beta will be out this month and there is still no JComments version for even Joomla 1.6!
I am now trying to figure out how to pump the comments out of JComments and into another commenting system so I can release my 1.7 site. I posted to the JComment forums and nobody responds.
The worst decision I ever made was to choose this tool. Very frustrating.

I am very sorry that you have got such troubles with JComments. Unfortunatelly I am alone developer and I have to develop JComments, modules and plugins and support users on 2 languages. Of course there are periods when I could not visit the forum but I always answer all questions on forum. This is free extension and I can not provide 24/7 support for free, but I do my best to answer users as soon as possible.
Yes, I have promised to release new version extension in November and I have changed release date to December. But I work alone and I can not work more than 16 hours per day. For last year no one user had contributed any piece of code for JComments development. But I very appreciated to all translators and testers who help me.
In any case, I do my best to release JComments for Joomla 1.7/Joomla 2.5 in December. All users of previous versions would be able update their JComments to latest version without any troubles.
Works great in joomla articles. Very customizable. You can change the template to make it even better. Only one problem. If you have Kunena forum installed and you want to use the avatars from kunena in jcomments you will have to edit some codes in jcomments. It won't work even though jcomments has the option. It is a simple php fix and jcomment developers should fix the problem.
Now in my view this new style is fantastic. It has breathing space which brings impact. It looses a little on the simplicity but it gains on the sophistication creating a soft effect which brings this component right up to date.
The component does not properly work in rocket theme afterburner template (applying new settings & saving) but what I’ve seen it on their demo website they used the joomla default template (rhuk milkyway) and this is the move I think we can expect to see alot of large corporates taking. Simple and soft but very effective and modern.

I've been using this extension for my website http://girlthich.com.
It is a great extension allows users to evaluate your product in an objective manner. It works smoothly and you can get enthusiastic support from people who wrote it.
Well if it will allow the display of posters and email the editor with more options.
I want to thank Smart. Thanks and wish him health.
