This is a very good module but one that suffers from a lack of documentation. I wasn't able to get all the features working the way I would like but what did work was well worth the effort.
The module delivers all I wanted but it will take a lot more tweaking to get the other features playing.
Responding to some of the comments below about the plugin not working, I found it worked in all browsers, but I had to change the settings in the very useful Lazy Loader plugin for the Lof ArticlesSlideShow to work.
The flipside of lack of documentation is that there are lots of settings which allow for precise control, it just takes a bit of time to try to find out how things fall together.
Once up and running, it's plain impressive.

it is the best slide show module you could find! everything works perfectly smooth! do not go to search for another slide show as far as it is available here!
there is only one relatively important problem!
in latest version of Joomla (1.7.3) if you enable system-cache plugin weird things happen! and if you install JFinalizer plugin which optimize your website speed your slide show wouldn't appear. the problem is probably with the module javascript codes! but as i am sure the developer debug and release a compatible version soon, i rate it as excellent!

I haven't had much time spent on it .But it is the best I have come a cross with ..Really easy to config but simple and even in IE6. its working (With little errors but exceptable ). Good work guys ..If I make some money on a site with lovely module I will donate you to say thank you........Well done ..Keep your good work ...
First I loved the module - easy setup, quick, great result in Firefox 7, Crome. Happy.
All done I thought - and checked Internet Explorer 9. Didn't load, some messed-up formatting.
I made some searches to find a solution, and it turns out many ppl have this and similar problems. Never an answer from the developer to solve this in any forum I found.
Really sad, but however brilliant a module might be when working - with incompatibilties and without support to resolve the issues they are simply poor. A short warning from the developer in the description about possible problems would due. For future modules I'll do a few compatibility searches prior to DL.

I would give this tool an excellent rating, but I have found that it does not work in IE - have tried in IE 6 and 9 but problem exists in both. It does however work great in Firefox. In IE it just hangs and does not display the first image. When I looked through the forum I can see that several people have this same problem, but no reply to help resolve these posts has so far been given to any of these posts. My own post is still awaiting a reply.
This would be a great module if only it also work in IE. If I do not get a response soon, I'll have to try another tool that provides similar functionality. Shame cause it looks great in Firefox.

This is something you certainly would like to have on your home page! Many configuration options allowing to embeed on different sites, deeper integration can be done via CSS. Beautifull overall result. No direct support but I was able to find some answers on this extension's forum. Excellent job!
Overall Documentation is pretty bad, but the good news is most of it works out of the box.
One thing to know once installed: To display Pictures WITHOUT having it view able in the article - use this HTML comment:
In order for This to work you probably need to turn off filters: Article Manager -> Options -> Filters -> No filter
Otherwise the WYSIWYG editor will blow up the

I loved the module. Did pretty much what I wanted, is configurable to a degree, I could offer a couple of suggestions, but otherwise worked right and out of the box. I upgraded both Community Builder and Joomla to current versions (current 5.XX versions), and it continued to work ok. Then it didn't. Nothing was moved or changes - it just gives the rotating "loading" symbol eternally. Uninstalled and reinstalled, re-linked stories, made sure all graphics were same format - nothing works. Sent email to support site with no answer as yet, been almost 24 hours since problem started, and that's a lot of time for part of a website to not work right. From other reviews, I can only hope to get this resolved somehow, meanwhile I'm looking for alternatives.
This module works out of the box. Adaptation is, in a few minutes, done. CSS easy. That's a good job, fine. Thanks
I downloaded this plug-in and loved how it displayed the information in the way I needed. However, after spending sometime setting up Lof Articles Slide Show I discovered that it didn't display correctly when my site was being viewed in Internet Explorer.
It works fine using Firefox (PC/Mac), Safari, and my Android phone. If you have no need for someone to view your site using Internet Explorer then I recommend this plug-in.
