If only all other joomla extensions worked as easily and simply as this one has... life would be wonderful.
A cracking plugin that has increased my newsletter sign-up by 30% in three months.
I cannot recommend this plugin highly enough. It works, its easy to install, its easy to maintain and the support is fast and professional.
What more can I say - if you need a popup on your website, this is the one to go for.

Nice, simple, lightweight.
Ultimately I had to uninstall because won't work in IE (IE's the dreaded html parsing error).
(sidenote: 'compatibility mode' in IE8 sometimes solves this but not in this case)
(sidenote2: IE can suck it!)
Also, I share dkartuzinski's thought that some simple directions (either during install or in the plugin manager) would be nice.
Otherwise, a nice little plugin :)

It could be the best popup extension, but until they don't fix IE html compatibility, it will not. Such a shame.
In the meanwhile I'm going with MOOPopup.
Note: It DOESN'T require registration to download.

Very simple to use - does what it says it will. Would like to see transparent pop in like previous reviewer commented on, but overall, this plugin is very very nice. Good work!

I really like this plugin.
it is very easy to install and set up.
The forums are there, but with 1 or 2 topics are next to useless.
I do admit the author responds to all comments right away.
I would live to see a trasnparency on the background of the popin.
besides that is very cutomizable.
Something this extension misses is that You cannot embed modules in it.
but overall works like a charm.

The forums are a very recent addition to the site (August 2008), hopefully people will start asking their question and more answers will be available.

This is the perfect solution for my site to increase my newsletter subscribers. It works great in firefox but when you add any html it crashes internet explorer. The html I was using was not complicated at all...one picture no text. If the developer can figure out a way to fix this issue and have an image work I will support him with a beer anytime he wants!
Owner's reply
I've tested the popin with images, and it works in my tests. Unfortunately, since the plugin accepts any HTML, and all websites are different, it is hard to actually determine whether the crashing of IE is coming from the plugin per se, or something else!

This is a pretty well put together plugin. The support was great and the programmer was quick to answer my questions, including three times in one day!
I used Joomla 1.5 and I would only add the following instructions to those like me, who sometimes don't see the obvious!
-
1. Install the plug in, like a normal plugin.
2. Go to the Plug in and within the HTML area for code - put THERE what text or images you want to have as a pop up (or popin!).
3. Create an Article, put as the article "{popin}" - just {popin} not the quotes - publish the article to the page you want the popup to occur.
4. Ensure that the Article is published to a working module position.
5. Voila! It should work perfectly.
-
It works great for users. If you are developing it and rechecking and rechecking, it sometimes seems to lose count so to speak and I would reboot your computer if something isn't changing like you think it should.
-
Five stars otherwise, thanks.

ps. I bought the man a beer! I recommend you do so as well.

It works as advertised! No install problems at all, just install, enable, and place your html in the editor.
don't forget the {popin} tag in your article.

This little bot does a wonderful job with the popin window. It is very easy to install/setup and pasting in your html for the popin window is a no-brainer. It has parameters for the size, and position of the window, color of the header text and bar, and font size. So, a little tweaking is necessary to meke it look exactly how you want, but it is quite simple. A 5 minute job.
The only suggestion that I would like to see implemented would be a close link in the window. But, all around this is an excellent plugin!

This plugin is just what I was looking for to bring items to my users attention.
Used sensibly, it is not intrusive and the customisation options are great.
Highly recommended
