I'd like to say that I am very pleased with support that was provided to me. I was recently working on upgrading all of the components on my site so that I could disable the legacy support, and, as you can imagine, upgrading these components doesn't always guarantee that your data is going to be intact afterwards.

I was pleased to see that all of my data was preserved, I went through a very easy process. I had a few questions that I submitted support ticket for to the developer and I had responses, with clear details on how to get things done, within hours and some within minutes!

Not only is it a great extension and does the job, getting help is just a breeze. And the video tutorials top it off and make it easy to follow the instructions for those, like me, who like to see the examples.
JCal Pro (event calendar for Joomla)
I've been a user of this component for almost a year. It's implemented seamlessly. I've had nothing but great support from developer. Very pleased with how much it can do, especially with ability to post multi colour events, so that just by looking at the monthly calendar you can see the types of events planned. I am looking forward to the new release (2.0).

From practical stand point, I find it very easy to use and install. It took me maybe 30 mins to set it up originally when I was still adjusting it to my site with all the features it has. And it took me less than 5 minutes to upgrade from version 1.6 beta version to current 1.5 stable version and will be upgrading to 2.0 when it's stable.
Great part of this upgrade was that I didn't lose any events. I simply uninstalled 1.6 beta, installed 1.5, enabled modules and was up and running.
How is that for a smooth backward upgrade compatibility!

SignalLogin
I find this extension to be really good. Easy to work with, modify, clearly written (relatively easy to figure out how to modify even for a novice (possibly through trial and errors).

I had to modify it to work well on my site in horizontal view.
- To make it shorter, I had to set the height to nothing (as oppose to the default value).
- I've also changed the png images to make them smaller (username/password fields)
- Set the background colour to transparent with irfanview. - Instead of having text for "create account", "forgot username", "forgot password", I've replaced them with png images that made sense (by setting them as background-image for each link).
- I've also set the button (login) background to transparent.

Also found a bug with default.php (show_lostpass appears linked to "remind" call. should have been show_lostname).

My suggestion is to make all the items above configurable through the admin backend.

There's a lot more that can be configurable, thus making this module the module anyone would need. Many other modules are available to replace standard login module, but in the end they all look to add some of the features that really should be all in one module, just highly configurable.

Content Item Module
Works great. I'm running J1.5 in legacy, and it works well for me. Works "right out of the box"!

I must say this module/component is by far the best I've seen out there.

Easy to install, configure and maintain. Lots of configuration options. Lots of features for users. Very nice design, configurable as well.

Especially nice to have an all in one solution, i.e. mail notifier, mailbox display, and the system itself.

Well done!

Considering that it also links to profile / CB, I am quite pleased to have this PMS running on my site!
I also agree, it would be really great to have ability to hide content from the front page (from particular article), but to show it when it's viewed in full view. I am still looking for something like that or some way of doing that with what I already have.

Please add the {fp} type of tag for hiding content from fp.

thx

Raf Cloud - Tags
Wow, no offence to other solutions for tag cloud, this is by far the best. Works flawlessly, as far as my testing goes so far. Very configurable, easy options for black listing non essential words, ability to limit words in the cloud to tags only.

Very nice integration with other plugins / modules.

Messaging
Great component! Simple, elegant, does the job.

Would be great to have the usermeta done as part of this component install, so that the function is integrated rather than having to do another install. But otherwise, great component.

Thanks!!
I would have added the usermeta to the install if I could, but it's impossible with the current joomla version.
