So much better than the core "reset password".
I have improved the component a bit with itemid-values. Now it can be used on a Joomla installation with multible templates and modules that are not show on all menu items.
I have also hacked a custom success url into the component because I didn't want people to end up at the default Joomla login page.
I have also inserted the username in the url in the e-mail to people don't have to type that wrong. The problem was with the field-auto-remember that stored wrong usernames (or username of other users that had used the login page).
I have sent the improvement to Mark, the developer. Pehaps the improvements can be found in the next version :-)

I like it but I experienced that my site got a loooooong load time and a nasty PHP XML error because the weather service was down for some hours. I got my site up and running normal again when I disabled the weather module (using Joomla 1.5 and GK1 v.1.2). So kind of weather online service check is needed in order to use it fully on a professional site :-) So for now I have disabled it, but I loved it before I knew about the missing weather service online check.

I have been using Ad Agency for over 2 years for a big site. I chose AdAgency because it was the only really full featured ad system for Joomla. In version 1 we had to do a lot of hacking in order to it running more automatically. Version 1 had many obstacles for the ad clients and we had a real setback in our earnings when changing from a very old ASP system to Joomla and Ad Agency.
But by the new version (version 2) Ad Agency got a lot better. The videos are very informative for us admins and the frontend is getting more intuitive for the ad clients too. After the installation of the new version I just had to do some few re-hacking in order to get it working as I would like it to.
Ad Agency is getting more and more flexible. Merav is doing a fine job among demanding webmasters and developers that perhaps should be a bite closer connected into the community debates. It is really hard explaining technical terms to a non-technical person so I hope to see the developers more in the debates in the future.
Otherwise when I in version 1 experienced errors I got relatively quickly and relatively good support from the developers via the ticket system.
I have reported many ideas and bugfixes that I would like to be a part of future versions. What I reported 1-2 years ago are mostly implemented now and I am now enjoying using Ad Agency and looking forward to what new versions will include of the posted suggestions from many users.
I must bring a warning to webmasters with sites that have more than one template and where Ad Agency’s frontend administration is set up (in the menu manager) to be used on a template that is NOT the default template. I think that Ad Agency has not been tested on a Joomla installation where Ad Agency (frontend admin) was using a non-default template. The ItemID-value is only used in 10% of all links, form-submits, buttons, redirects etc and therefore you “loose” your template and all modules in it when clicking on something where the ItemID-value was not used.
This bug has been there since the beginning and it is not on the radar screen of Merav and Co. Anyone that opens the source code can see that ItemID value is mostly not used (even in version 2). But with at bite of hacking the ItemID value was inserted in the most important files and we could use it.
Ad Agency is very cheap compared to other ad system (not for Joomla) and because of this I think there is not much money for the developers to develop the new things. I would gladly pay more – for example for new versions if I was getting more new features and a more tested and bugfixed system.
I am giving Ad Agency 5 stars because Ad Agency is the best full featured ad system for Joomla and it is getting better by each version.
And by the way, just ignore BlackHat_Inc’s review (below mine). I do not agree with this user – it is way too negative.

The MP3 browser is excellent in overall :-)
The download link opens the files in a new window, which is not good. There is no option to choose the download files to open in this or a new window, so I hacked the MP3 browser a bit so it did not open in a new window.
A TIP FOR EVERYONE
If you insert this into your vhost file then you can force the downloading of the mp3 files in all browser types. This makes MP3 browser even better :-)
# forces mp3 files to download
ForceType application/octet-stream
Header set Content-Disposition attachment

I have been working professionally with Joomla back when it was called Mambo and I have tried nearly all new and old mailing systems for Joomla for my clients. My conclusion is clear: AcyMailing is the best mailing software for Joomla and I like to say that very loud :-)
Adrien (the developer) is extremely fast in his support and he gladly implements suggestions and that is properly why AcyMailing is very rich in features and has very user friendly intuitive pages :-)
