I seen where another reviewer mentioned upgrading to pro because of issues from the basic free. Beware, I am using pro and I am having issues. What's worse, is when you request assistance through their support forums, no one answers you.

Pro is lacking any css templating, so if you have a white background site, then you are in luck. Anything else, well..unfortuantely your just out of luck.

Out of all the bridges I have attempted to use, this one is the best. I love the fact that joomla's SEF trickles down into your forum and also provides some really nifty modules such as the latest forum posts, latest members online, top members, and online members.

The only slight cons I found was the documentation was somewhat confusing, but the staff at Rocket Theme buffers that with their expedient, excellent customer service and support. I have ever yet to ask for assistance and be ignored.

All in all, excellent quality extension and top notch support.

I can't say enough good things about this link directory. Installation and configuration is quite effortless, support is superb and it has alot of great features. It's nice to be able to keep track of reciprocal status all from the comfort of your back end.

If you are like me and tremble at the thought of hacking files and dealing with bridges, this is your solution. The only thing that it lacks is the ability to comment on the gallery items. However, if you install profile book, it compensates well as a commenting system in the user's profile.

Installation is very easy and works right away. Great anti-spam solution for registration.
