Hello,
Very good product!
I have a problem when I validated the form on my website, because it couldn't find the next page. I fill up the contact/support form of Mooj.org and get a reply strait away to help me with me with SEF issues.
Afterwards, Proforms worked perfectly. Good product & very good support !

I first installed proforms basic, then I did the upgrade by buying the license.
Just upgraded I found a problem with joomla administrative menu, but the Mad4team solved everything in a half hour. Great! I highly recommend the upgrade to the PRO version, because the software is intuitive, practical and useful.
Thanks again to Mad4team for fast and effective support.

I recently installed proform basic for a joomla 1.7 template..The component interface was very user friendly and I could set up the form in minutes. Also the service is superfast.I had a small query to which the "The Mad4Media Team" repsonded quickly.I would specially appreciate them providing such quick service even for the basic version.Great work guys...
I had a problem with the BASIC version and inspite of that (normally no BASIC-Support) I got a fast and professionel help. That made the extension work properley now. Very glad! Highly recommended Extension!
Despite the link back Proforms Basic is just wonderful. I'm using it for a job recruitments and contact form.
Was able to create both forms within 20 minutes.
The support is awesome.
Had a small question and those guys found a real big bug on my server.
Guess I would have never found this.

I've some pre-fabricated Joomla packages for my clients.
Each customer can test the packages to decide which package shall be the base of the website.
In almost 90% the client decides for a package with Proforms Basic.
Many of them are upgrading to pro version later.
I'd a small issue on one of my packages and contacted the developer.
It took 30 minutes to got a solution.
Customers love this form extension.
Thank you for this great piece of work.

I must admit that there are other free forms with more features but you need to study the software to know how it works.
PB makes everything easy. You can create good looking forms with a few clicks.
Absolutely the right extension for lazy guys like me :-)
If you are looking for convenience use PB.

I can't confirm the reviews on the support for Proforms Basic.
I don't own the advance version and got an answer on my support request within a day.
This is the best free form component you can get. Easy in use and provides very good looking forms.
I can only recommend this extension.

There are 52 extensions in the contact form category and every contact form has his own special feature.
You don't need any contact form extension if you have Proforms Basic. With this component you can create contact forms in very short time.
You can extend fields and it always looks brilliant.
5 stars for a 5 star extension.

This form component is the easiest I could find.
The system is different to other form components.
Proforms Basic has an own user interface and the form creation works over form templates. If you understand this everything is child's play.

I've been using Proforms - both the free and the paid versions - for some time, and have generally been impressed with the extension itself, and would give it five stars except for this:
I can understand that the developers wish to generate revenue through technical support. However, this is about the only developers site I know of that has no alternative such as a forum for users to discuss issues amongst themselves.
I have what I'm sure is a minor problem that I only have with a specific template, which another user has probably already solved, but there's no place for me to ask.
Trying to force someone to pay a minimum of €25 when they could probably get a solution from a users forum is anti-consumer and frankly, contrary to the spirit of the Joomla! community. If you're not under a service contract, and have ANY kind of a problem, you're just out of luck.

I am using many extensions since a long time for my Joomla projects but never found such an easy-to-use one.
A decent user interface which is totally different to all other extensions makes it very easy to use also for old customers.
If you need a form maker for your customers take this one.

I have been using the parent Mad4Joomla for years and was very satisfied. By migrating to Joomla 1.7 I was forced to use another form component because Mad4Joomla is not compatible with 1.7. I knew that Proforms is a fork of Mad4Joomla but I never thought that even this free basic version provides many more functions than the parent one.
Captchas are very stable now (includes also recaptcha by default), custom email creation, using the default menu linking and so on ... makes it more stable and versatile.
Keep on this good work.

Its really a quite something. Its easy, its comfortable and its ... oh i said that already, yes it´s easy ;-)
But, i´m so said, after installing easily and after managing the first form, i had to see, that the color of text on the website is black, the modul changes the color of the text obove of the form.
Of course basic means basic, but thats very dissapointing. I can´t believe that the advanced version could fix this. Mostly i do not understand why this must happen.
very sad

I use this extension to allow users to sell their cars and contacte me.
The best component for joomla for forms.
Very easy to use and easy learning.
You can increase your property with APPS.
For me it was imperative to change the metatags and metadescriptions and they helped me quickly and for free.
The only thing is, if you don´t wont the add link, buy the pro version.
Thanks.

I needed a way to put a form on my site to get customer requests and have it e-mailed to me. Proforms Basic was able to accomplish this. It was easy to install. Navigation was also easy and I was able to create my form in a few minutes. I had a little trouble figuring out how to link to my newly created form, but with another few minutes of poking around I was able to get that sorted out.
