Files larger than 3Mb = $$$

Looks like it has quite a few features, but the limitations of the "freeware" version seem to be deliberately hidden by omission, both in the description above and in the maintainers reply to the last person here (note that they had 3 points and the one about the 3Mb limit was ignored). Unfortunately I just read the owners reply on the last review and not the review itself and for that I got burned and wasted my time. That's why I want to make it clear for anyone else evaluating this:

THE "FREE" VERSION WILL NOT LET ANYONE UPLOAD A FILE LARGER THAN 3MB!

Don't waste your time installing this, if this is, or is likely to be an issue. I have no problem with devs charging and making money. Just please be upfront what you are (and are not) providing.

Thankyou.

The text above points to the description of the main component.
There you find in the text that there is a upload limit on the free version. And on the website there is also the note "The freeware edition has already all main features! The main limitation of the freeware edition is a 3 MB upload limit of the upload queue." directly in the download section and a big section of the features where this listed also. So there is nothing hidden at all!
And in the last review I also wrote that there different versions and already the smallest license does not have any limit in the upload queue anymore (3rd point).

So I really don't understand your rating.

Social Slider
Looks nice - Positioning is limited

Social Slider
The icons and jQuery movement look great. I just wish that there was more ability to control where the icons appeared onscreen (especially as module position seems to be irrelevant).

Personally I wanted to be able to position the icons relative to the content sides and keeping a minimum definable amount of distance from the page top and bottom.

If you don't mind it keeping a large space from the top of the page and only being definable x pixels from the left/right of the window edge, then this may still be for you.

We have just made an update that gives you more control over the layout as well as the javascript. Hope this is what you were looking for.

Simply the easiest lightbox / slimbox viewer around

No adding class names. No limitations on size or shape of your thumbnails. No fugly text hanging outside the picture frame. No editing code of any description.

Just install (via Joomla), insert an image (via Joomla) and resize to a smaller size (in the article editor via Joomla, just as you'd do now). In short, do *nothing* any differently than how you do it now... except you get beautiful slimbox displays of the images in your article - automatically.

I'm in love with this extension!
JFusion
Amazing... and well supported too!

We have a site with 6 digit numbers of content pieces, thousands of users requiring simultaneous login across forums, a Virtuemart store and Joomla.

jFusion does an amazing job of this incredibly complex task with not much more than a little tweaking of the odd plugin settings page. Doing this without hacking core files of any app, *and* providing excellent support and a rapidly developing code base makes this the most exciting open source project I've seen since Joomla first emerged.

If ever there was a project that deserved praise, use and yes, financial contribution, kids, this is it.
