Qlue Custom 404
The component is a very nice addition to the site, it handles the usual error pages, and it even helps you spot those pages that are missing from the site, by logging it all.

The only problem I can see is that I had to buy it on faith, it wouldn't display properly on my template, and I couldn't figure out why, reporting a bug to them didn't help, and they insist on not giving help out if you're not registered. So on a leap of faith I registered thinking that they must be able to solve this.
After registration I opened a ticket, which they responded to immediatey, and they solved my problem within two updates to it.

Just too bad that this leap of faith had to be taken, if they had helped me without registration, this would have been an 'excellent' rating.

I tried with v1.0.1, and it did a very nice job, now with v1.0.2 and the upcoming kunena support, it's looking even better.

This component is so easy to use and set up, and integrates very well, very sad for the tinkering mind, but very nice for us that just wants it to work.
A bit strange system with hotfix'es with manual copying, but it's managable.
All problems reported was solved quickly, and Slabbi is very respondent, and have created the docs that's needed (just a question of finding them), one drawback though is the lack of it's own forum, it piggybacks on JoomlaPolis.

The support forum can be found on Joomlapolis and it is linked from JED.

The FAQ can be found in the README folder in uddeIM archive as mentioned in the description text above and as mentioned in the sticky in the uddeIM forum.

I've been toying around with this component for a couple of days, it looks very nice, works well, and it has a ton of features when it comes to design, a lot more than I've seen elsewhere.
The throttling works well, and most of my needs are filled even with the freeware version, again a lot better than I've seen elsewhere.

ARI YUI Menu
Well, trying it under J1.6, it looks very very pretty, but it sadly doesn't support J1.6 access levels, so all the nice setup of access levels doesn't help here, as it won't hide the menu items based on your own access levels.

The differences from the standard Kunenalatest are subtle but very clear, and it gives a very nice addition to our site, that people respond nicely to. The Mootools effect for showing the article is a cool gimmick for this.

Well, how to rate this, it works nicely for PGV 4.1.6, so for that a 4 star rating, but still no support for 4.2.0+, so it can't get 4 stars. Whoops.
Owner's reply

That is because it is not (re-)build yet for version 4.2.0+
Working on it soon.

Well, the integration between the joomla and coppermine works without a glitch, but integrating the style sheets is complicated when the template in joomla is confusing (replicant for j1.5), but that's hardly the bridge's fault.

Well, considering what I have to use it for (tell my users of changes on the site), this is a huge overkill.
But I really like the interface, and the layout editor.
It takes some time getting used to where things are located, but after a while it comes natural.

The price for the News version is excellent (free), taking this into account makes it unbeatable.

I haven't found a something I'm missing yet.

Only minor snag is that when you update, you have to uninstall the old version, and thus you have to save all the personalized graphics you've placed in the template directory.
