“It gets our Spiral Island Editors' Choice award, recognizing it for it's highest quality, design, and usefulness.” – Randy Mac

Developing Jom Comment has been fun! Being the obsessive compulsive people we are – we don’t except anything less than brilliant! Your input helped us improve Jom Comment – the more the better. Your satisfaction makes us flyyy!!! :P We’d just like to share a review from RandyMac made us float in the air awhile; don’t worry our feet is firm on the ground – always improving Jom Comment!

Hear what RandyMac has to say; and from us, we say thanks for the Spiral Island award – you made us blush!

 Team Jom Comment

Spiral Island Editors' Choice Award

Before we add an extension to our Richie Sowa Spiral Island website, or any other Joomla driven site we create, we run it through our hands-on experience, literally. We install the component, module, or mambot into our testing site, where we see, touch, and rigorously test. Most extensions do not pass our internal test trials to install on our live sites.

We focus on testing and rate in these 4 key areas
        * Design: How does it look and feel?
        * Features: What does it do?
        * Performance: How well does it work?
        * Quality and Cost: How well is it supported by the developer and what does           it cost?

In the past few months we had a need for a visitor commenting extension, and we tested all that were available, except the commercial one (Combo MAX). Some worked, but didn't meet our test criteria. We needed one ASAP, and just when we thought we had to settle for the commercial one before we tested it, we found the all new JomComment from Azrul.

From the very start we knew the developer was serious about making this commenting system meet Joomla users needs. This developer has gone above and beyond our standards for design, features, performance, support, and quality assurance since releasing JomComment 1.0. Support is extremely prompt. The developer listens closely to users wants and needs. He adds new capabilities, and fixes bugs immediately, and releases new versions right away. Software in Me (Azrul) has evolved JomComment in such a short time, to become one of the most quality Joomla extensions we rely on for our sites.

Since it's commercial, it may turn some off, but we say your missing the point of providing your site visitors with the best solution. JomComment is worth far more than the $12.50 USD that Azrul charges for such an excellent commenting system. When compared to the price of Combo MAX, JomComment is an exceptional value. Instead of paying 22.50 GBP (United Kingdom Pounds) or $45.92 CAD (Canadian Dollars) the cost for a top quality commenting system is $12.50 USD United States Dollars or $13.84 CAD (Canada Dollars). Huge value and savings!

Based on our Joomla extension criteria and the results we got from our quantitative and qualitative tests, we rate JomComment an 8 1/2 on a scale of 1 to 10. We'd give it a 9 1/2 out of 10, but we want to make sure Azrul keeps making it better. And he appears to be doing that. We highly recommend JomComment as the best.  It gets our Spiral Island Editors' Choice award, recognizing it for it's highest quality, design, and usefulness.

Testing.



untouched, as the SMF folks wished. So there should be no more copyright violation talks.



Fixes:

1. Preview, insert quote, code in in post are all working fine.

2. Links on notification emails are all fixed.

3. SMF error/warning page stays wrapped
