Intention good, quality poor

So far I'm not impressed by this software. I already had phplist up-and-running but I was looking for an easy to use subscribe module. Jlord was the only one offering such a module so I decided to purchase a license.

The biggest issue is that for mysterious reasons the developers decided to hard-code a major part of the user messages in the php files instead of putting them in a customizable language ini file. And that wouldn't be so bad if these messages weren't written in poor English. So I spent many hours digging into the code to find the right php files and edit the text into something sensible.

I also ran into several compatibility issues: the module works fine in FF3 but when using IE7 I encountered major bugs.

Finally I think the support can be improved. However they promise feedback by email within 8 hours for paying customers, it took me days to get in touch and no solution at all was offered for my issues. A bit disappointing.

I think the intention of the developers to deliver a useful piece of software is good, but the quality can be improved a lot. At this stage the software is not worth it's money.

Thanks for the report.Translation bug: fixed, you can change to whatever you want. The module works perfectly on FF3, IE6+, Safari, Chrome. The 1.5.1.1 version is now terrific, a lot of new killer features. Check it out.
