Article Lister
Works ok, cannot see how to sort my articles alphabetically by title
Owner's reply

Added the title sorting as well.

CAPTCHA Connector
I was able to easily install bigo and this module and it did indeed work, but it's basically useless. I created a menu as the instructions say and then associated an article with the menu. When a user clicks on the menu, the captcha works great, BUT if a user goes directly to the underlying URL they can access it no problem. I need a captcha utility that will lock an article down regardless of how the user accesses it, menu or direct.

DFContact with Captcha-Support / SMTP-Support
The component worked well for a while but stopped properly formatting the return address in the emails it was sending. Tried uninstall/reinstall which did not help, and found no forums for help on the developers site.

Simple Image Gallery
I tried the free "SIG" and while it worked, I had several issues (check the forum on the joomlaworks site). I loved the bot and decided to upgrade as perhaps it would fix some issues, and it did. the "pro" version is 12E (about $16 US) and it comes with several image libraries. I found that Litebox (MooFX) worked best. Plus the captions look really nice in the Pro version as well.

My 'average' vote here is for the SIG standard, I would give 'above average' rating to the pro version.

JCal Pro (event calendar for Joomla)
Solid component, installs easily, intuitive, professional look and feel to the backend. Not as full featured as Thyme but the tight Joomla integration and ease of use more than make up for that. Best of the Joomla calendars that I tried.

Has a search bot, and 2 modules, one a mini cal and one for "upcoming events".

Wishlist: dropdown with pre-defined event locations, click for directions.
