Nice idea...but....

It works - sort of.

Compared with other RSS importers, it has greater functionality, ease of use and accuracy of import.

However, the CRON function does not work (I am using the latest version 1.5.8)). There is also an annoying floating window with hints and tips. It cannot be switched off - even when you change the parameters. The only way it can be altered is to save the parameters every time you change to a different option within the Component. The annoying window then changes position.

The hints in this system are already on the Component website anyway, so it is pointless.

In order to improve this Component two things need to happen:

1. Cron must be made to work
2. The hints and tips window must be eliminated

Do that and I'll change my rating to 5 stars.

Thanks Graham for the review. It's time for rating to 5 STARS ;).
1.5.8.1 has just released which fixed CRON bug, hide the hints as it should be, fixed some small bugs, and improve User Manual document.

Let down by lack of navigation

Although it is easy to install and to set up and has some nice design features, this board is actually very poor from a user perspective.

There is almost no navigation. Once you have entered a topic, there is no way back to the list of topics or to other forums within the board.

It also will not accept module menus being added in the breadcrumbs position to overcome this.

So, even though it is straightforward and easy to use I cannot recommend this extension because it is so unfriendly to your site visitors.
