JComments
In the last month or so the JED has seen some really nice additions. Like the joomla praise adminlite template, Lyften Bloggie, alpharegistration to name a few - while others old favorites have become much more slick as they mature.

Jcomments is a worthy member of my standard stuff directory. Once you have checked it out I'm sure you will feel the same.

The install was smooth and the configuration extremely well set out and commented. You will have comments running on your site within 5 minutes.

Theres no need to type in a list of category, section or article numbers. Just select from the list. To remove commenting from an article just add the {jcomments off} tag in the article.

When posting a comment you can enter text that will only be visible to registered/logged in members.

There are lots of nice touches and supporting modules. A comprehensive list of comment systems can be imported, as well as external avatar sources.

All in all this is a killer comment system looks and feels modern in both the back and front end.

All we need now is Joomla 1.6

Thanks for bringing this great component to the community under the GNU/GPL.

AdminPraise Lite
I don't have the words to do this admin template justice. You just have to see it and use it, to grasp the difference it makes to the admin area.

Once you have used AdminPraise Lite you will never want to go back to the old way of administering joomla, in fact you will wonder how you ever managed to get by using the default template.

Be warned, once you have had a taste of the light version, you will want the pro one real soon.

Thanks for making this template available to the community.

JFusion  -> Universal User Integration
There is really nothing I could add to the comments that have been added here. The stats for the Jfusion project speak for themselves! In excess of 200 comments most of which rate the project 5 out of 5.

If you need to sync multiple software solutions, there is nothing that even comes close, to such a complete and progressive solution as Jfusion.

Top team and a top project in a class of their own.

jPFChat
I use two paid for chat modules which both work well. But neither provide such a complete solution in their own right.

Loads of useful back end parameters and the front end is smooth as silk. The ability to have more than one chat room open at a time is cool.

I would imagine that some people would like the ability to place this component in a module position. This isn't available unless you start experimenting with a third party comp to mod package.

It resolves all the issues I had with the other chat systems. I now use all three methods to take advantage of the unique functions offered by each system. Having said that if I had to decide on one it would be jPFChat!

It covers more bases than any other chat system I have used.

I have a number of scripts installed and haven't suffered any conflicts to date.

Great job thanks

AlphaRegistration
It's a great mod, jQuery validation function doesn't work for me either. I would also prefer a link to Terms, editing the language file is not a big deal, but for anyone with a large document it could be a pain.

It is a huge leap forward compared to the core offering! It gives a far more professional sign up solution. With nice touches such as the three step image, which can easily be edited to suit your site. If the jQuery works for you its a bonus.

If you're looking for a good replacement for the core registration module, this is definitely worth installing. AlphaRegistration looks set to be one of the most popular options in this class.

Further development of this project would be nice to see.

Thanks for yet another useful contribution to the j! community.

Thanks. I note your idea to a link to article instead the text area for the next version.

Ciz Biz (Tic-Tac-Toe)
This is a nice little interactive module your visitors...I think it would be nice if the module would allow the visitor to select the difficulty level in the front end or maybe have a back end options to randomly select the difficulty and display the level setting in the score area. A cookie to keep a clients score would be cool.

No brainer to install!

Nice work and thank you for sharing.

Hours of Business Module
Nice little module very quick and easy to implement. The CSS demo cut and paste into your own template CSS gives a nice example style.

It maybe worth mentioning you can also use a in the day field to add a comment which places the comment in the same block as the time. Ideal for adding 'Open Late' etc.

It would be nice if the module could be installed more than once for companies with multiple branches or maybe for advanced warning of public holidays.

Nice job thanks for sharing it!

Pro Sticky Message
I finally registered with Joomla.org

I want to say what a great job you have done with this project. It has been a real pleasure to watch it develop at break neck speed. Some times updated more than once a day. The author has a great sense of humour and reacts to feed back almost instantly including their wish list requests.

This is a must have for any site the uses are endless. Creating new or editing new pop ups is fast and very intuitive. The new component idea is gust a master stroke the module features are vast!

You have just got to try this out if you don't find it one of the most useful com/mod on your system I will sell my sole on Ebay!

Now as for the wish list could you include some timed message and media function so that you could for example have a cock crow in the AM and an Owl hoot in the evening or good morning and good afternoon messages etc. Maybe with a server time off set so you can get the timing right for your home market. Geographic location would be asking too much!

One minor gripe with the upgrade when you uninstall the module you lose your custom sounds etc.
Not a big deal when you know.

Can't wait to see where this one ends up we need more stars for projects as good as this one!

Thank you for all your great work.
