Its a wee bit easier to use than the built-in Joomla cache cleaning too.
byjodofin, December 29, 2011
I needed something like this when Cache Wrapper, which overlaps a little in functionality, wasn't able to do the job of protecting a particular module from unwanted caching.
This achieved the solution. Nevermind it requires editing the template, it worked and was easy to implement.
This - along with CacheWrapper and CacheCleaner - is one of the three caching extensions I have to rate highly.
Excellent work.

The developer was very helpful with debugging suggestions when it wasn't performing.
A very elegant solution to a common Joomla extension issue.

It worked on first instal but the main issue with it is a lack of resizing which limits its flexibility.
To be clear you can resize the module, but you it doesn't resize images.
It doesn't support random articles, but when used with NoNumber's Advanced Module Manager most of it's other limitations can be rectified.
The main plus point is that it is very simple and predictable.

The documentation is very good, but I think it could have been made a bit more prominent that it needs a helper plugin.
Not as polished or easy to use as other modules that do the same but I was very impressed by the demo and also like that it is already J!1.7 ready.
Photos need to be inside the default Joomla location for Images for thumbs to render and they make this clear, but a lot of other extensions omit to mention this point.
All in all very pleased and looking forward to further developments

The functionality it adds to Joomla and the ease of use is incredible.
What's more it has improved tremendously since it was first introduced.
It involves features that everyone using Joomla needs.

The module delivers all I wanted but it will take a lot more tweaking to get the other features playing.
Responding to some of the comments below about the plugin not working, I found it worked in all browsers, but I had to change the settings in the very useful Lazy Loader plugin for the Lof ArticlesSlideShow to work.
The flipside of lack of documentation is that there are lots of settings which allow for precise control, it just takes a bit of time to try to find out how things fall together.
Once up and running, it's plain impressive.

Installs in the system plugin category and is a lot easier to set up and use than the module based Google Analytics extensions.
Really can't think of any negatives.

Very Good and easy to use with excellent documentation - (including 10 minute Youtube video).
Easy Installation Too

Several issues had to be worked through during and after installation and sometimes also when upgrading, but because of the amount of functionality it adds, this was acceptable (it was in beta version when I first began using it).
All in all it is the best extension for doing what it sets out to do that I have tried - that is to say there are several which do nearly the same thing but this one really delivers results.
I found it initially a bit confusing and for this reason delayed making use of it. I think this was a not a wise choice. Some extensions are worth putting in some time for and this is one of them.

Templates - and a few other things not yet fully included in the migrate so the front end templates weren't fully functioning.
The previous 1.5 installation was left intact.
Had none of the problems that other reviewers have complained about and will definitely be looking out for the updates as they come along.

5 stars.

This is amazing - a huge timesaver and a plugin that acts unobtrusively in the background.
the plugin requires another Core Design plugin called SCRIPTEGRATOR and some permissions need to be granted in that plugin. Both plugins need then to be enabled and the magic begins.
The benefits really begin to show when you have lots of items to manage and soon you begin to wonder how you managed without.

Would recommend it to any.
The way it handles images is very impressive.

It really is simple to use and has useful configuration options like turning vote count on or off.
Very impressed.
byjodofin, February 6, 2010
I find it can also be used within articles when used in combination with Modules Anywhere.
Full marks.

Very good editor. Simple to use and behaves predictably.

The most impressive thing is that you can choose your thumbnail size for each of three modes.
Ease of use combined with configurability. There are backlinks front and back, but the front can be made quite discreet by choosing the text only option.
5stars all round. Magnificent.
There is also a gallery tree extension which goes with this which really adds to functionality.
