This extension is very good, fast and efficient.
An excellent component that does what it says. Relatively simple, yet highly configurable in the backend to meet a wide range of needs for a contact form. I tried several others but they simply did not have the minimum features we are all looking fore: contacts, drop down issue lists or buttons, and some sort of CAPTCHA support.
The extension does exactly what it says, simple as that. Perfect for what I need it for. I already requested support on an issue and it was resolved right away. Turned out the problem wasn't the extension at all but was my hosting account causing the issue.
Try it out, you'll like it!

This is a great extension.
Very simple to set up and to add additional form fields. During config it even identified a small change I needed to make to my template in order for it to work with this contact form as it should.
Good CAPTCHA implementation has reduced my spam as well. Another really cool feature is that all messages sent are stored in a DB for later review etc.
I love it.

Works straight out of the box, documentation is comprehensive and the support in the forums is direct and useful. Since I'm new to Joomla, this is exactly what I needed. The forms are customiseable and flexible. I'll be using this in all my sites from now on.
Thanks for this extention, I have nothing more to add then - PERFECT!!!
This is one of the best form extensions I have used, but why did you have to put suggestive captcha phrases in it. I don't know if I can even use your extension now. A really stupid thing to do.
Owner's reply
The idea is that the words are hard to read and it is easier for a human to identify them this way. The extension even allow the use of the words in different languages.
This is affecting the security provided by CAPCTA in an ignorable way because there is a very very long list of words.
If you would had asked on the forum or by email I would had showed you how to modify this. It's very easy to change them to random strings of characters.
So maybe the really stupid thing is to complaining about something without asking for help about it.
Easy integration and works like a charm. No difficult to understand parameter settings etc. This would definitely be recommended to the most novice of users. Installation and full setup was completed within twenty minutes. What's extremely useful is the Help guidelines to the right within the setup. It provides a field by field detailed description from within the component rather than external documentation as most other forms do. Missing I would say is user integration though (apologies if it is and I have missed it). What makes up for that is that you're able to add a file upload field with no file restriction or upload limits(can be set by admin). Top it off with Captcha security and you have what would be considered the perfect contact form!
this module has everything i need. great
Easy to use, works well and exceptional help on any query from Alex with his quick reponses and clear replies. Thanks you!
Many thanks to the developers of this extension and a special thanks to Alex for his attention and help.
