News Calendar
I was looking for this for quite some time now; not able to develop it myself, I have to rely on others. Well, Vargas is one of the best with this extension; easy to setup, to adjust; I had an issue with the popup screen but after changing the margin of the popup (in the css) I could flawlessly move to the popup without losing its appearance. Minor thing with the popup border, sometimes the border is out of sight. When it really bothers me I might ask for some support. Way to go Vargas, keep up the good work. Thanks

Fox Contact Form
I have tried several contact forms extension, and they either required a lot of tweaking, lots of thinking, or provided frustration after an update. Well, with fox contact the css is absolutely clear; text which appear in front end ( at least some of it) is easily adjusted. It works, and it is getting better after every update; No way that I will even try to remove the backlink to the author from the free version, they deserve all the credits and more. Yeah, I should donate or buy a pro version. Simply the best around

EasyBlog
the looks are easily configurable with the css provided (I am an autodidact); when I had an issue with compatibilities between easyblog and another extension on my site, they even tweaked the other extension, so everything worked fine again; probably the issue was a mere php notice, but I wouldn't try my luck; the back-office solved it; great work; many thanx

Articles Category Scrollbar
For me this is a really awesome module. Have been looking for a title scroller which could be set to a certain numbers of article titles to be presented; with the possibility to scroll the titles manually. The one that I used (and needed quite some tweaking) in J1.5 did not do the job anymore in J1.7. After trying several others, this one is just perfect for me. But I had to remove something from the default.php, because I received an error message related to something that had to do with thumbs (which I do not need, so I could remove the lines from the default.php); I am absolutely not a pro with php editing, just thought I could give it a try and remove the lines that were mentioned in the error message (lines 54 and 119 by the way)

Much to my surprise the dynamics function works great too; It means that when you let the module pick articles from all categories, it will only show the new articles related to the pages where the module is shown (dynamically!)

This would have been an excellent rating if it wasn't for the error found. Please guys make this work, and it will be an excellent module for anybody.

Popup Anywhere
Guys, this one really rocks. Have been looking for a popup plugin that allows for some decent tailoring of the settings. I do want my visitors to be notified, but I don not want to bother them with persisten popups. Well, Popup Anywhere is just what I wanted, after an hour of disappointing trials with other plugins/modules. As you are able to set the time for the cookie to expire you can make this popup appear once, and again when the browser was closed or not again in the time set (expiration time of cookie). Add a picture, an article, include a weblink. Whatever you want. Even a few different templates of the popup are provided. Just what I wanted. Thank you very much.

Tabber
Having a website that is ever expanding with content, I needed a tool that allows for easy navigating my pages without too much scrolling. Tabs on the page within articles should do the trick. So I needed a plugin to assit me in this. Well, Tabber does the job. It is simple to use as soon as you sort out that it is merely the {tab=title}txt{/tabs} around the text, and this text could be in a table, that does the trick. Styling is easy and the CSS is very straighforward, so it is easy to adjust the tabs to your liking. And I am not very experienced with this CSS stuff. Great work guys. Thanx.
News Show Pro GK4
This module has got all the assets essential for users to be supported in their activities in their sites: easy install, easy to configure (out of the box, no manual needed), supports K2. It is just as Gman20 has said: apart from respect it deserves a donation.
Thank you very much for this great extension

Page Navigation Titles
only where titles are available they will be added to the navigation arrows; you can choice wheter you want previous and next still displayed; wonderful extension; download-install-enable (disable original nav ext!) and it works.

SVMap Google Map
I was looking for a mapping tool that would be easy to install and use, as I am not a very experienced user. And it should do what it supposed to do, concerning my goals. Furthermore it should not provide a lot of unnecessary features I was not intending to use, because this is just making things fuzzy, and most of the time serves no goal at all. I wanted to visualise on a geo-map places I visited and reviewed, having the possibility to link straight to the review. That is not much to ask, I know. Having read reviews of several extension, I chose SVMap. And this is so great!! So easy!! with the component you can configure the main features, with pop-up instructions, and the plug-in helps you to just show on the map what you want. For instance only clients, or places belonging to one category.
Make sure you read the user instructions for the plug-in. That really gets you started.
Excellent work. Thank you very much developer. Moos

j4age
Have been using joomlawatch up till yesterday. and I was satisfied, until I upgraded to the lastest version. I hate to have a lot of additional stuff on the site which distract any visitor. To get rid off the weblink attached to the joomlawatch icon was impossible (unless you purchased the adfree version). Without trying first: no way.
So I went to look for another web statistics extension. And j4age is really perfect. If you do not want to nothing will be shown on your webpages. Nevertheless the statistics and graphics in the back-end are really excellent. And when you have been using joomstats, j4age will upload these data from the database during the installation procedure.
It is so easy. When you are only intereste din nice features in the back-end, j4age is worth trying.
The deserve financial support that is for sure!
