JBehave - Content filtering
Just a few words: simply to set up and it works fine :)
Suggestion for future development:
option to exclude choosen content from Jbehave words check and replace.
Thanks!

I like the page style you get with this plugin!
It works well and it doesn't seem to affect pages loading.
Assuming you have to work with tags maybe an improvement it could be an option to force automatic paragraph creation on starting text, but I think it's not so easy.
Good idea and good development.
Thanks!
Content Templater
Absolutely useful component, easy to manage and it really saves your time if you have standard content to add or you want to achieve particular article structure or look.
0.42 version works fine with italian special characters too.
Thanks to Peter and Nonumber! for support and his great extensions.

Imagesized plugin for Joomla 1.5.x
This plugin, definitely complete Frontpage, Category and Section Blogs display in J!
I would keep, for Imagesized, a "little place" in future J! dev.

Plugin extranews J1.5.x
I like it, a great content plugin with a lot of settings and options.
Complete and very "attractive" with tooltip images.
Thanks Viet ;)

JV Title Flash module
First of all, I think this extension should have been in a different category: News Tickers & Scrollers.
Then I can say I tried several, maybe any kind of News Tickers & Scrollers for J!1.5 with similar settings and (*on my site also with a default JA_purity template*) ALL of them fail in the cross browser visualization...and sometimes I had to navigate hours in their proper dedicated forum just to make them work and set a position on FF...
NOT JV Title Flash.
It has sect and cat setting parameter and you can customize all of visualization parameters with a basic knowledge in css.
For FF, Opera, IE6 and IE7 at once.
The only improvement I can suggest is the next-prev button default color, maybe not white.
Really thanks!!

I like this extension for semplicity and effectiveness.
It works fine but unfortunately to reduce number of requests it's not so easy on any site, cause of different component installed with their css and js files (will have any kind of standard or check for Joomla, someday?).
On my site, for example, I simply just can't use CssJsCompress and I repeat it's a really good extension, it works as others or better but surely in the simplest way.
I have css and js I cannot aggregate or I lose functionality and the right pagination too.
I'd need one option to let out particular css and js.
The "non plus ultras" could be to have a visual check for loaded files in a page and choose there which files to add (as J! menu style), but I'm ready to search and compile my strings, manually, with an "exclude" option in CssJsCompress! ;)
Nice work.

Custom Properties
It's really a smart component, I would like to see it as part of joomla core too, with custom properties panels inside of new/edit content-article panel.
Cause of it's unique intent of catalogue and schedule I think the output of article properties items could be enhanced:
not only to point to search similar article properties, but also in a custom output, related to specific property, or in a resuming page, giving to the author the opportunity to show the global "properties map" development process inside his site.

Simple Mooticker
Pretty nice module, easy and fast to use.
Maybe the ticker speed needs an improvement (settings are from '1' to '10'):
In FF3 lower speed ('1') is really low but with same value in IE6 and IE7 is a good setting. Increasing module ticker speed ('3') it works for FF3 (not as expected, I think) but in IE6-7 text goes too fast and simply you can't read...
In my wishlist: possibility to add just articles ID! Thanks for your work.

It's essential and it does what I needed, just a simple column banners page of friend's sites.
It's native and it works, for me, that's all.
Just a few suggestions for future improvements:
1) Sometimes (i.e. friend's banners) you don't need to have an "expire date", default date 0000-00-00 should simply show banners not exclude them.
2) Possibility to manage banners order (important).

ThumbsUp Latest News
I find it really usefull and easy to adapt.
I consider this module complete.
In version 1.0rc1 there is a little mistake in code, I think.
In helper.php, Thumbsup folder, line 173:

[...]"&".$color."&image=".$img_parse["path"][...]

should be

[...]"&".$color."&image=/".$img_parse["path"][...]

or no image thumbs are displayed ;)
Thanks, Atanas, for your work.
