User trace
Loads well and promises to fill a gap in my site management tools.

Issues: Configuration settings do not stick. When you go back to the settings after disabling a couple of columns, they all revert to the default of all YES.

Clicking on CLEAR brings up "invalid token."

Pros: Really like the plug-in to disable unverified users after N days. The Russian hackers are really going to hate this. Just need to combine with the ability to block the IP in the future. Also the csv export.

Please take the criticism as positive feedback as I do believe you have done a really good job so far...

Hi,

thank you for your feedback.
Some users have experienced this problem.
You can avoid it just editing the code:
open administrator/components/controller.php and find

function clear() {
JRequest::checkToken() or jexit( 'Invalid Token' );
if(!UTAdminController::_getEntriesNum()) {
[...]

And delete "JRequest::checkToken() or jexit( 'Invalid Token' );"

Regards
Enzo

Simple Page Options
I do not do many of these reviews but this is a very useful utility. The only thing I can criticize is the PDF maker, but this is external to the module, and outside the developers control (slow and flaky).
I had an issue with styling, and a quick email to the developer yielded a response in 15 minutes (on a Saturday afternoon). WOW!
The issue was in the moduletable styling on my site, and although Omar did not solve the problem, he pointed me in the right direction.
My only suggestion for improvement is to add a CSS file, which would solve these types of problems.
Nice work, and definitely worth 5 stars. Looking forward to the updates.

RokWeather
Says it need RokModule to operate, but doesn't. Also need a switch to turn off people changing the location (which incidentally does not work), and also to be able to turn off the location name as most modules will do this in the heading. Also it would be nice to turn off/on the temperature system (F/C) once set.
However, negatives aside it works very well and looks good. The very best feature (what I was looking for) is the location cache so you are not constantly going out to the weather site to pickup data, a problem as it slows your site down badly.
Fix the little issues and it would definitely be 5+ stars.

Simple Image Rotator
Loaded in seconds, compatible with most other java based image rotators and text scrollers... and is professionally written.
Just a little rough around the edges such as the rotation speed and fade has to be set manually for the "uncut" theme in the JS file. But hey it is version 1.0. My only wish list for this module is to have a link URL for each image.
Can thoroughly recommend this little gem.

If you checkout the description carefully, you'll notice this:
"Moreover, this means you can even use the default Joomla! banner component to actually CONTROL the images of the rotator, adding unique links and controlling where these links open. Now that's pretty cool, right?"
So this answers your question somehow :)

Acajoom
I think that a rating of 5 stars does not do justice to this excellent extension. Well done to all the contributors. I think the only thing missing is a few skins for the template, and although the video tutorial is well done the young lady needs better notes to work from. But that is nit-picking as it takes a lot to get me to the keyboard and this is one of the best (and polished) extensions going.
