I have tried other captcha plugins in the past and had lots of trouble getting them to work reliably, but JCCreCaptcha is just so simple to install and use. Try it!

I gave up on slick RSS and mod_feed because whenever I turned them on I got a '500 internal server error' and a core dump on my J1.5 site, but MagpieRSS worked first time.

I have installed, patched, removed, re-installed, re-patched - tried in-house test servers etc. and although I can get the captcha to display, the module always reports that the wrong characters have been entered. There were some tips on the site to try and fix this but I gave up in the end - it seems to be hit and miss whether this works.

What this module does is so simple, it is easy to install and the results are great. This must be one of the easiest ways to add a simple gallery to your site. Well worth a look and thanks to the developers.

I was wandering round Joomla trying to find out how to get the latest articles in a certain section to appear automatically on the front page of my Web site - no such luck, but then I found this module - just what I needed!

This module is really slick, easy to install and use - well done to the developers!

The only hassle I had was that the security captcha wouldn't show and following my suspicions and a few forum posts, I had to re-compile my PHP with Freetype support as well as a few other directives; on my CentOS 4 box, this meant adding the following PHP configure statements:

--with-ttf
--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6/
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/freetype2/freetype

Other notes related to confirming that gd and png support ware also enabled but these were already OK on my install.

We looked at Acajoom to replace Anjel and found it to be well written and easy to use but there were a few rough edges, for example: importing email addresses seemed straightforward but the imports didn't show up in the subscribers list, yet if we re-imported them, we were told they were already there! We ran some test mailings with few problems, but in the end we went for Dada mail (a non-Joomla based solution).
