Very useful and professional looking. Clean and efficient. Tons of options and features. Only recommendation I would have is to include a "Flag as inappropriate" function for comments, so that users can flag a comment, and it will be removed until an administrator marks it as ok. Once marked ok, it cannot be flagged again.
Just in case someone was struggling to get the JComments "Read More" link working on articles other than the first article in blog layout, apparently JComments and AutoReadMore are not compatible in that regard. Not sure why it still works on the first article in blog layout, and not the remaining articles. Anyway, brilliant component, thanks for it.

Thank you for your recommendation but JComments 2.2 already has Report to administrator feature. It allows to site visitors send reports to administrator about comment's content. In next version I'll add ability to unpublish comments after N reports.
I really like this component! It's easy to install and easy to use!
One thing I do miss; star ratings... It would be great if you could write a review and give a rating as well!
But again, this is really a great extension!!

This is a very simple to setup, nice to look at and very effective comment plugin. This doesn't clutter up space on your site. I haven't tried any other but I don't think I would want to after this one. I got exactly what I was looking for. Before going for others, try once at least.
Super easy installation and migration of comments - all done in a couple of minutes!
Being easy to install and having flexible options are not uncommon amongst JED entries, but the level of committment and support from the developer are what make this extension head and shoulders above the rest.
Many applications are well done but can become abandoned by busy devs whoa re volunteering their time and energies; this is definitey not the case here! I was in a bind and Serge immediately came to my rescue and figured out quickly what my issue was (and it was my own fault, of course). I can't thank him enough for his kindness.
The comments system is one of (if not *the*) best out there with flexible options and integrations with a large number of 3rd party applications out there. Well documented CSS classes allows for tight control of the look and feel, though out of the box it looks great.
I can't imagine using another comments system since installing on a production site, and look forward to whatever features come next!

I found this component today and I installed it on my live site. I have replaced old !JoomlaComment component with just one click. All my comments are available in new comment system. I found also support for Joomfish, CB and Agora, I use all these Joomla components on my site. Thanks! Configuration is easy and powerfull, CSS is easy, however JComments is short of skins for dark background sites. In fact there is no skin for dark background. But after two hours (css is really easy) I customised existing skin to make it compatible with my #222222 background website.
No way - there is only option for rating. 7 stars of 5.
Excelent job! Thanks!

Just finished installation and configuration. Coulden't be easier. great extensions. Thanx!
JComments is without a doubt the market leader in its field. Unfortunately, I cannot use it, beacause it writes into the footer areas of my website, a circumstance which can be corrected with the 'refresh' button in the browser. My users will not know that trick, however. The program would, therefore, seem to need an auto-refresh function somwhere in the routines. Also folded commentaries and pagination would make the program perfect.

Thank you for your review and I'm sorry that you can not use JComments on your site at this moment. If you need the auto refresh feature - visit our forum and leave post about this in suggestions section. Development of the JComments never stops and in my mind I could add such feature in one of future version.
