BT Slideshow
★★★
I like it - easy to use, but no longer supported.

BT Slideshow
I tested several non-commercial slideshow type extensions on a Joomla 2.5 site and like this one the best. It easily does what I want. The option to hide captions doesn't work, and I won't be able to get it fixed because it is no longer supported. Their site says, "Important Notice! Since 21.03.2012 we stop supporting the users of this version. Please use the BT Slideshow Pro to add many new features and is fully supported. Thank you." It also acknowledges bugs that won't be fixed. I presume that no support also means no updates. The commercial version is just $25, and I may buy it because I like the features. Otherwise, I'll soon uninstall this version because I think it is too risky to keep using an extension that won't be updated. Average rating is because of discontinuation of support.

Web Links and much more!

JV-LinkExchanger (jvlinx)
I had no problems at all, and the changes I wanted to make were not hard to find using the author's web site and Firebug. Lot's of really good features. The description calls it "entry level", but it seems much more than that to me.

I wanted to replace the Joomla Web Links component because URL's of links are not visible to search engines or other link exchange submissions. JV-LE solves that problem.

The only thing I wish it did is to allow manual ordering of categories and links. The author's site provides an edit to allow alphabetical ordering instead of the default.

Thanks for a great free component!

Random Quotes
I've been using this for a long time, and wish I had posted a review before. I came looking for a version for Joomla 1.6. It's easy to use. The pastor of my church writes a brief daily devotion, and I use it to display a different one for each day. It doesn't have to be random, either. I have it set to display in the order I enter them. It takes a little time each month, but that doesn't bother me in the least.

Yt Content SlideShow II
The module worked just like the demo indicated. Easy install, up and running in no time. I looked at the documentation to see what some of the terminology meant, but everything is really easy and straightforward.

I use it on the home page of a site to draw attention to articles. The content column looked a bit crowded, so I edited the style.css file to change the font size and alignment, and set the line height. At less than $10US, it's a good value.

I've been using Joomla for years now, have built several sites from scratch, and actively manage three.

Easy!

I set it to share pages on Facebook and Twitter. FB works as expected. I don't use Twitter, but it appeared to work. VERY easy.

While there is no charge, it isn't free. You will end up with a Siteground.com link in your footer.
jBackup System Plugin

Very Easy

I installed it, set the backup frequency, entered my email address, and this morning the compressed files was in my email box. I guess I could ask for more, but I don't know what it would be.

Highly Customizable Forms

BreezingForms
If you want to be able to create forms that look just the way you want them, this is the extension for you. You don't have to settle for a layout designed by somebody else. I had no problem at all with installation. The developer also sent me an update email a couple of weeks after the purchase with a link directly the download.

The purchase price of $7 makes it a great value. For me, the big price was in the time it took me to get my form up and running. It was a large form - 19 text fields, 5 select drop-downs, 7 static fields, and a submit button. It took all day. The result looks great, but I would settle for something that looks canned if it were less time consuming but functional. Someone with more experience than me might not feel that way.

Be sure to watch the videos. I would never have gotten it to work without that. I searched the forum for the solution to one problem and never found it, but finally figured out what I had done wrong. Since then, it has worked perfectly.
