JoomInvite
I like it, with one problem that someone reported on their forum over 2 months ago. When using the openinviter, it will pull all of the contacts from the given service and then the user selects the ones he wants to share the site with. The problem is that JoomInvite imports ALL of the contacts, whether chosen or not to use with its mass mail and follow up feature. This is no good and will make the table holding these users grow in size rather quickly (just think if someone has 50,000 myspace friends and they want to tell 20 of those friends about your site, all 50,000 will be imported into the database) Please developer, remove that or make it an option and you'll have a great component...

I really really like this component, makes editing records, etc. so simple. One question about securing it - I just used cPanel's "Password Protect Directories" feature to create a user and password for the specified folder. Is that OK? I think it's ok because I opened a new browser window and tried to navigate to that folder and it popped up the user name and password dialog.. Just want to make sure I'm secure =)

the answer is YES, you should see an .htaccess file in your directory.

Ninja RSS Syndicator (aka BCA RSS)
Easy to install, easy to add a feed. After setting up a simple news feed, I subscribed to the feed (using the URL generated by the component) with Thunderbird and that was fine. I then added an article to the category I chose for this feed, and expected the article to come up in Thunderbird, but it didn't =( I then clicked on the URL for the feed and sure enough, it's empty. What could I have done wrong? I made sure that the category is correct and not excluded..

I'm not exactly sure why this issue arose, but I'd suggest you try out the new version of the component and module to see if it fixes the issue. Thanks for your feedback Dax.

VOTItaly
Hi Luca,
Just wanted to say things for responding to my email so quickly. I had a question about how to clear the votes for when my site goes live and Luca responded with the answer (which happens to be to clear the jos_content_rating table) The extensions is graphically pleasing and simple to use. Thanks for this!!
RSform!
the best support by far too! I come up with ideas for modifications to the component to do certain things and Alex is happy to tell me what code to change to make it do what I want.. Do not be fooled by the cheap price of this component. It's easily the best form component for Joomla that I've seen. I don't know any php or html and I can use it without any problems. There are simple hacks to be able to receive uploads with forms, and you can even use RSForm as a simple autoresponder with attachments with just a few lines of code too. The mambot for including the form in content items is superb. Plus I also discovered that you can embed this mambot inside of other mambots such as a javascript popup window. The list goes on and on. Bottom line is that for $10, you get a product and support worth many times that amount! I hope to see many new components from RSJoomla.com!!!

MooFAQ
I really like the way this component works, the nice mootools effects really spice up what is usually a boring question and answer section. I've come across a few bugs but this is a brand new component so I'm sure they will be fixed as they are minor. The only thing missing is the integration of something like EasyCaptcha for when someone submits a question (if you have that feature enabled) I recommend either EasyCaptcha or reCaptcha could possibly be integrated somehow too.. Overall though, a very good component, especially for being brand new!
