I'm using Purity II... I reverted to ruhk_milkyway for testing and the Captchya image appeared. Unfortunately, if you are using the purity templates it doesn't show up, making it look like the plugin isn't working.
Owner's reply

We have found that the current version of this plugin cannot support various components and templates. So we have started work on a next generation captcha system. Which will be released around January End. It will fit for most of spam blocking over any template or any component, and offcourse without any hacks.

Thanks

Akeeba Backup
I was backing up my database regularly but not my files... I had manual backups of my files... I got hacked - and I had to restore half my sites (I had backups, but it was a long and painful process). After I restored everything I researched and found this JoomlaPack extension and installed and tested it extensively.
It does EXACTLY what is says it does. It is fantastic. The documentation is outstanding.

-- Read the instructions (or if you are like me... at least load the pdf file and search it for your issues, the answers are there).

-- I am using the core install, but will soon upgrade to the plus version because I have joomla nested in directories, and I want to back those up separately, so I need to exclude them from my site backup.

-- If you have a standard joomla install, with no sub directories, this is really a great solution.

Last year I paid someone to move my site for me because I didn't have the time to research how, this would have solved that for me.

I cannot say enough good things about this extension. Thank you so much!
Export Content
I have installed and played with numerous extensions. This is the best one I have used yet. The online documentation was flawless, installation was flawless, migration of data flawless.
Wow! Thank you so much. This allowed me to take a fully functional demo template from JoomArt and load my data into the site. This will save me hours of configuring the template on my existing site. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Mad Blanks
I reviewed the documentation before downloading and installing, so I knew how much work would be involved in setting up and configuring the quizzes. Having developed and written similar programs I had an immediate appreciation for the flexible (and yes complicated) design. With flexibility comes complexity.

I followed the tutorial and was able to have a sample quiz up in two minutes.

Need a follow up tutorial on how to get the quizzes to display in the menu. :-)

nice work, thanks for the module.

DC Slide Menu
Super easy to install and use. Plug and Play never got easier. You will need to create your own CSS to make it fit with your site, but no programming needed.

nice, thank you!
Seminar
I installed this component and was immediately impressed with the underlying design and architecture. The flexibility of the fields and the functionality are great. Unfortunately I need to charge for my courses, so this component will not work for me. But it is free and for a free component it is really nice. Hints for newbies like me.
Install the component first, then the language pack. If you need the us-english, you'll need the core language pack for us-english installed too.
After you install the component, install the module, it makes working with seminar much easier. If you don't install the module, you will need to create a new menu item (look there's a new item in the menu list for seminar)...

The component and modules were a breeze to figure out, it took me much longer to figure out how to get the event to show up. (Adding it to the menu did the trick).

Nice work, wish I could use it!

Very easy to install and set up. I spent five minutes configuring and the first test worked seamlessly. Really nice for a site that needs a quick and easy contact form. - warning there is no captcha feature - but I did not need this. I needed quick/easy and working. This worked straight out of the install.
