Simple File Upload
The module has a clean look. It even replaces the default "browse files" button of the user's browser, providing more consistency in the layout (otherwise the look of that button is browser-dependent, and it is very difficult to style it with css).
The French translation is also very good. I could use the module out of the box. My purpose was to allow users to upload audio/video excerpts (which they later integrate in their articles with AVReloaded).
So thanks to the developer for sharing this great extension !

mavik Thumbnails
After trying many solutions for automatic generation of miniatures, this is definitely my favorite. It has the big advantage of not requiring any tags (it just checks if the image has been resized). This means that if you uninstall it, all pages will stay just as they are : no ugly code left behind, simply the images won't be clickable anymore.
The opening effects are clean and work out of the box (highslide used to bug on chromium but this has been fixed in the last version).
Such a nice plugin would have deserved a page on the developer's site. (Apologies if there is one : I do not read ukrainian, and Google translate did not help me find it neither). Something like a changelog or a roadmap would be informative.
In the end, I've been using this extension for more than one year on several sites and it has always proven simple and reliable. Thank you very much !

J2Top
Does exactly what it says. Very sensible default settings. Just installed, enabled, and I was done.
Blends well with the smoothscroll.js script from kryogenics.org, which provides smooth scrolling between any page anchors. I use the latter on long pages for top-down links, and J2Top on all pages, for back to top links. Thanks to the developers !

Does exactly what it says. Links remain even when viewing an article (which is exactly what I needed)!
