FAQ Slider
Looked at everything that I could find in the JED and Google and this by far is the best! I was able to get my login tabs (dinamods) within these tabs along with Sigplus (the better image gallery) and most important for the default was showing latest news articles in sliders. Matthew was very responsive and helpful in getting the latter accomplished by duplicating the module for the news. That solution (outside the normal operating parameters) did create 3 strict xhtml validation errors for the id's and he said "1 day this will be a component, mod, & plug which will have a global method for sorting id's"; but for now I can live with this as nothing else comes close for my solution. If people look at the genius of it, they will see it's brilliance! He also makes an Add Keywords extension that is excellent.
This would be a great extension if it were updated since 08 to native 1.5. Forget that now as a 1.6 version might be necessary. So as not to have to be omnicient (God) when a user updates their own profile it should auto update the contact info;(
FreePayPal Donations
This seems like a great extension but I uninstalled immediately when it didn't validate with many errors. Standards validation has been around a long time now and is expected that when your site is "green" (validates with the w3c.org) and 1 module throws a bunch of errors it's unacceptable. SimplePayPal keeps doing the trick, but my clients would probably love to see/download their transaction data. Did notice someone brought the issue up on his forums a couple of years ago;( If issue is resolved I will take a look again and re-evaluate and change this rating accordingly.
Owner's reply

I've gone through much of the code and re-vamped it to generate XHTML 1.0 compliant markup and to be OK for strict PHP 5.3 compatibility. The entire frontend now validates as XHTML 1.0 compliant via w3c.org validation. There is one exception: the flashplayer thermometer is embedded via an OBJECT tag and an EMBED tag. These are not W3C/XHTML standard compliant. Yet, there is no way to embed the dynamic flash thermometer without these tags. Hence, this exception to complete W3C compliance remains.

Advanced Social Bookmarker
All the praise that they are getting is well deserved as well as the comments about the multiple id's which I can see as a problem and yet with 1.6 maybe not with a minor upgrade. I am only giving this 3 stars as it throws 15 validation errors and standards is something I think any developer should always take into consideration as I have to. I will change it to 5 stars if they get rid of all ERRORS.

Ninja Content
This component simply did what was needed, but did have a small bug or 2 that when I put it on their forum, Mark quickly deduced that we should communicate quicker and more effectively on Skype. After getting the programmer to help troubleshoot the bug it was fixed and a new version quickly put out. This team of developers even though they seem to be on a shoestring budget and have some personal internal complications, gets the job done and aims to please! I would recommend getting a subscription and supporting them for their extensive and practical solutions for Joomla.
