We received news today from our merchant partner Plimus that PayPal will be completely down on May 26th, 2011 for 26 minutes (is this some early April Fool's prank?) which means, you will be experiencing technical problems when you purchase our components. Details of the announcement is HERE.

Please report to us immediately at sales @stackideas.com if you encounter PayPal related problems.

But, there is another way around this.Our merchant Plimus can still accept major credit cards worldwide when you shop at our StackIdeas.com website. We hope you can be patient with this technical breakdown by PayPal.

I have to admit it. My online purchases are motivated by the level of trust I have on that particular website. The product may be cheaper than other websites are selling but on looking deeper and I don't see a 'Money Back Guarantee' and off I go to another Google search.

Why I love those 3 words is because it gives me a sense of security whenever I buy anything online. To be a smart consumer is no rocket science. Products or services made available for sale online originates from humans. And as humans, mistakes and imperfection prevails.

I may end up getting a lemon instead of that cool shiny bag for my iPad 2!! What I am trying to say here is we all love some sort of protection whenever our money is parted away from us, an assurance that our money is worth its while..

Here in StackIdeas, we could never thank enough to our customers for trusting us. To keep that trust, and perhaps affirm it, we are now putting peace of mind in your purchase - a 30-Day money back guarantee.

Whether you buy our Joomla blogging component EasyBlog or SectionEx, we honor you with the 30-day policy, as enshrined in our Refund Policy page. If there is some way that our component is not up to your requirement within this 30 days, you are entitled of your money back, no questions asked.

Of course, it is our greatest endeavor to assist you in any aspect of our products to make them work for you. We thrive when we have happy customers who buy from us.

And if all else fails, we are happy to return your money. :)

We are proud to be part of ChillCreation's ongoing $25% discount on their extensions, plus a giveaway bonus that includes our very own EasyBlog and EasyDiscuss components.

Once again, Gefeliciteerd to all the winners!

We are so excited to show you some of our satisfied users who already adopted our blog component for Joomla! EasyBlog in their Joomla! websites.

There are thousands of sites already using EasyBlog but in this page, we are showcasing some of them and we will continue to update this page with more success stories.

More stuff after the jump.

We just released a newer version of our Joomla! blog component EasyBlog now at version 1.8.154!

Some of the major inclusion is EasyBlog now supports Swedish language. You can now use EasyBlog in Swedish inga problem alls! :D

We also did some enhancements to work better in Joomla! 1.6 like login issues, event triggers, modules fixes, to name a few.

See the full list of fixes in our changelog HERE.

We are announcing to all EasyBlog users to upgrade their current PHP versions to the faster PHP5 for future releases of our Joomla! blogging component.

In the next major release (coming real soon!) of EasyBlog, we encourage all users to have at least PHP5 running in their server for smooth operation of EasyBlog. Older versions of PHP will not be able to support EasyBlog's functionalities and will stop working, causing you lots of delays and headache.

You will also expect lots of errors and exceptions running on PHP4 so if something in your copy of EasyBlog is not working, it's most probably you need to do that upgrade.

For the upcoming EasyBlog 2.0, we urge all users to upgrade their current PHP versions to the more robust PHP5.x.
