"The instructions cover virtually every possible scenario a user may encounter. I don't believe I have ever seen anything as complete as this! As I was reading it, I opened up the plugin and simply did the configuration. The plugin configuration screen itself is better than a lot fo the work I;ve seen, including commercial products."
yvComments indeed is one of the best Joomla! extentions I've ever used!
Superfish Dropdown Menu
I just tried the superfish and simply it is one of the best extensions I've ever used. Especially, I like the configuration options at the back end as well as the unlimited potential to customize the way it looks like at the front end --- thru tailoring CSS file....

During the test-driving, I noticed, likely as many other superfish users, that Superfish dropdown menu works perfectly with Firefox and Chrome, but not IE. As mentioned at Superfish's official homepage (http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/#faq), it is a IE z-index bug and there is nothing wrong with Superfish itself. In order to fix this IE bug, I've tried the recommended solution (http://webdemar.com/webdesign/superfish-jquery-menu-ie-z-index-bug/) but it didn't work with my case. However, I did find out a simple work-around, which might be similar to the solution quoted above, to fix the IE z-index problem: Add z-index properties to [.sf-menu li] and [.sf-menu a] in the superfish.css file as examplified below. In this way, no other changes need to be made to your index.php under /template folder. Hopefully this helps.

Thanks again for Cy Morris's great job!
