I have been using Joomla for about a year now, so I am relatively new, but I found this extension to be quite easy to set up and install. Also, the small issue I found (which must have been user error since it went away by itself) was handled fast and efficiently by the developer. He was quick to respond and very supportive. Thanks Josh!
This is really a nice extension and that too for free. Unbelievable. I made some changes to that fixed some bugs. Added a stylesheet. Thats it. It is looking much better now. Has almost all functionality of User Voice. Future I will add categories to it and make it look similar to User Voice which wont take that much effort. As everything is almost there. Thanks a lot for this nice extension.

I really like this. The interface is not very polished, but it's really all about the functionality anyways. It's easy enough to edit the layouts if you know a bit of HTML / CSS / PHP.
The only "bug" I've really encountered is line 43 of /views/sugg/tmpl/default.php, where no matter who wrote a suggestion, the output will show it as being written by the logged-in user ($this->user_name). I noticed this when I saw that a suggestion one of my users had made showed as being suggested by "admin".
I simply changed line 43 to:
if($this->item->UID)
{
$user2 =& JFactory::getUser($this->item->UID);
echo 'This suggestion was submitted by ' . $user2->get('name') . '.';
}
All in all, a very workable system, and I adore the idea. I have not used "Bribe" yet, but I like the concept and plan to implement it in a test-run. Not perfect out of the box, but workable and excellent starting point.

This is exactly what we needed. Everything that User Voice does (considered them from the last review) but on my site. When are you releasing the next version?
Quick to install, simple to manage, easy for users to use. The UI could be improved, but that is on the roadmap (good idea to post it).
It worked well for me even though I used it for completely different purpose..For its real aim it would probably do wonders! After getting to know the roadmap, be ready, developer Josh will shoot you with many more super cool added options to this component. Great job!
This extension, while new, has much potential. It gives a site another path for visitors to interact and provide valuable feedback and I really like that. Especially that they can bribe you with money.
Once I fixed up the problems with it not working on my server I submitted the fixes to Josh who was very enthusiastic about recieving feedback and incorporating my suggestions.
Expect future releases to work even better and have even more useful features.

I tried out the demo, it looked very good and simple, but a major downer is that it seems to perhaps not work with internet explorer 7. Not only would I not be able to view suggestions but so would the person suggesting, so if this bug was fixed, this would be an exellent extension, I still give it a fair rating considering it probably works decent with other browsers.
