ARI Sexy Lightbox Lite
I have Googled everywhere for something like this for the past few days.
Then I stumbled on this one, and it does exactly what I want, simple and easy.

I found stacks of Popup Modules, but all I needed was for a housing area, a small popup message system for certain articles.
I also found other plugs, that either didn't work, or didn't download... amazing!
A Module is just way too much bother for a Popup message which (in the old days) was a simple html code.

So I am really glad to find this!
PS, it worked easy on 2.5, just make sure you download the correct version, cause even the 1.5 version actually installs on Joomla 2.5 (it just doesn't work, obviously).

Load module into article
Yepp, this is about as perfect as this sort of plug should be!
No time wasting with all the twiddels and weird nonsense some others have.
This one installed and worked. No fuss.

Hotspots
I have seen this component a few times, but never really understood its potential.
However, I took the plunge and bought it.
It was dead easy to install, straight from the box.
I used the same Google Maps Key that I have for other map functions, and voila, it worked.

For me, this component is a great addition to the many other features of my site, and Users can easily add their own spots for everyone else to see.

Being a non-programmer however, I can sometimes do stupid things... and in my case it was making this available to Registered Users, to stop idiots adding weird things.
The response time from Compojoom was inside 5 minutes! Amazing, as always from the Compojoom team, THANKS!

PS, easy to customize too!

Compojoom Comment
Awesome comment system, that helps the site to live.
Comments are the most secure method of getting feedback from users, and this product integrates everywhere on the subscription package!

Compojoom take user issues seriously, and fix the problem as fast as I have ever seen from any product! And now it has gone commercial clearly tells me it is going to be a stable investment.

And it supports Norwegian!

Recommend Friends (old)
These invite functions has always had trouble previously, normally conflicting with something else on the site.
So I wasn't really expecting this one to work either.

However, it's free etc, so I thought, I might as well try it out... and WOW it works!!! I was pretty amazed.
I am on a Windows 2003 IIS Server, and pretty used to these kind of components being aimed at Linux with little or no thought to Windows.
But this worked - as easy as everyone here says!

I am still not sure if I am going to use it though, but I still donated the 10 bucks they automate on their site, basically for a super nice job done.

I have tried MISSUS for nearly a year, after testing and dropping most others.
I installed this UDDE recently due to continuous (small) bugs and trouble with MISSUS (including it being stopped).
UDDE is stable and solid!

Disable Core Registration
I have spent tonnes of time and in the end a fair amount of money, so that my registration system works through a SMS Payment system, that verifies age etc.
This for me was necessary as I run an adult site.
I had forced the CB registration etc, as I was pointed out, ages ago, so this pasting of the link never occured to me!
But then I read this, just by chance, and BANG, it bypassed my registration system totally!
This simple bot fixed the trick in a second.
THANKS!

Acajoom
Great functions etc, but you know that.
The problem I had, which led me to deleting it, was that it was creating a stack load of PhpErrors on the Server.
Ok, I am running a 2003 Server etc, so sure, that might be the trouble.
But, that's what I got, and I am not getting rid of the Server to get a Newsletter.
So, anyone know of a Newsletter that works on 2003?
...yes, I have tried most of them already.
