Re: Joomla Now Has A GetResponse Module - Hi guys, I just wanted to give my 2 cents on this subject as I am a Joomla enthusiast. I have 3 different Joomla sites and they all perform great, although they sometimes load a bit slowly. My main site went up drastically in the search engines after I converted it to Joomla. About the GetResponse module: Unfortunately, it's only compatible with Joomla 1.0, so for anyone like me who has the latest version, I doesn't work. Have a great day, everyone!
