Komoona Ads
Takes most of the hard work out selling ad space as advertisers can create ads and pay for them in seconds without even leaving the page.

Support is second to none, I had a conflicting script and it was fixed in minutes even though it was a Sunday.
Forgot User Password
I've just been testing this out and it's working brilliantly so far and hopefully will put an end to endless emails about invalid tokens and resetting users passwords for them. Many thanks!

SP Weather
This is the first weather module that I've found that plays nicely with my template. It looks good has plenty of options. The only minor problem that I had was that the module included some cache files found at modules/mod_sp_weather/cache which were set for another country which confused me slightly as the forecast was telling me that it's 23c while I'm shivering in -4c you can either wait a few minutes for the cache to update or manually empty the 2 xml files.

Really nice module and nicely coded.

Cache file deleted. You'll not face any cache related problem anymore.

Very good plugin, easy to install and configure, perfect for keeping the visitor on your site instead of someone else's and probably better for SEO.

This is one of the best extensions for Joomla, it stops 100% of spam dead. Easy to setup & use. A must have plugin!

Weather GK4
Excellent module, simple to set up and configure with plenty of advanced options too.

Having been plagued by persistent spam registrations for the last couple of months I've tried every single captcha plugin and component available, none of which stopped any of the spam sign ups on my site.

I stumbled across this plugin by accident and a bit half heartedly decided to give it a go. I have to say that it's got to be the easiest system to use and there's absolutely nothing to modify unlike most of the captcha plugins. I've finally gone more than 2 days without any spam registrations which is a big relief!

UserToolbar
It's really good and I haven't noticed any incompatibility problems in different browsers. Would be very cool if the visitor or logged in user could add site links to the toolbar like some sort of favourites function, and also if the user could remove buttons they didn't want or could choose from a selection (a bit like you can with facebook).

Featured Items
I would have given this module an excellent review as it's really very good however the developer has seen fit to hide a hidden link back to their own website within the source code, this link is set to 'display: none'. You will find this link hidden away in the modules folder/tmpl/default.php or you will see it if you view your page's source code.

This module works well and does what it says on the tin but if you use this module and are in to SEO beware as it contains a hidden link back to the developers site in the module source code.

JFusion
JFusion is probably the best thing that's happened to Joomla, it's simple to install and integrates a variety of forum softwares from SMF to PHPBB.

JFusion is constantly worked on, updated and improved, but although there are frequent upgrades to this component it doesn't mean any extra work for you as site administrator as the JFusion component does all the work for you, it's basically just a one click update to upgrade this component to the latest version.

Support is excellent and fast and I would recommend using the JFusion component over any other forum integration solution.
Sobi2
When I first created a listings directory for my Joomla site I chose to use a commercial component it soon became apparent that the commercial directory component I was using just wasn't up to the job.

I had another look around and discovered that SOBI 2 had many, many more features and gave me endless possibilities to expand my directory via a formidable array plugins, modules and addons. In fact you can do just about anything with SOBI 2 it's far more than just a directory component.

Support from the developer via the SOBI community forum is excellent and the SOBI component is continuously developed meaning that it just keeps on getting better!

TWC4J
Works flawlessly and well worth the money. Excellent and nicely styled component for displaying the weather whatever part of the world you're in.

It's a very good bot but the only snag is that it also loads inside some modules such as the default newsflash module which doesn't have the parameter to disable mambots from firing inside it so you end up with the sociable buttons displaying 2 or more times in a page.
Is there a way to prevent this, some code that can be added to the sociable bot perhaps?
