I'm using PHPlisthttp://tincan.co.uk/phplist at the moment and I think it works really well. lots of configuration options if you like but you can just ignore most of them if you want and go with the basic options.
One problem I'm having with it at the moment is that I've got a large mailing list (almost 11,000 subscribers) and I'm currently having to mess around with the config file to set it to send out mails in batches and / or throttle requests to the server because it keeps exceeding the 'max questions' that my host will allow. This is a common problem with any php mailing list as far as I can tell but there's more and more talk about solutions on their support forum so I guess it's only a matter of time before you can configure throttling and batching through the admin section.
I'd love to see this ported to XOOPS but I'm a total novice with PHP so I can only hope for some other nice techie in here to grant my wish! The only reason I can mess with the config file in PHPlist is because there are examples of hacks on their support forums...

Hey, I'm not exactly sure how they did it, but I found a module that does exactly what I want with the news module. Check it out:
https://xoops.org/modules/repository/singlefile.php?cid=80&lid=1326
It displays the introduction paragraph in the 'recent news' block on my home page instead of just the title and a link - it works a treat.
It also has some other nice touches that give you more control over the general construction of your personal theme and I particularly like the features for placement and control of your marquees.
I'm off to post a nice comment about it in the module repository now

Wow, it looks like I'm well outta my depth here. I'm a total novice with php so I'm gonna have to take some time to try to pull this apart figure out how it works. Thanks for the head start with the modifications you've been working on Michael. It may be a while but if I make any progress, I'll send it back your way.

I use the news2 module which is very good but for my purposes I'd like to be able to display the intro text to articles in the top news block on my home page instead of just the title that links to the article.
Can anyone tell me how I might go about this or is it already possible?

I'm not necessarily referring to the phpadds module as such. I'm just making a point that with many modules you have to browse through the html & module directory to get the files you really want. This only seems to apply to certain modules and I only found this out through expirimentation.
I'm a little confused as to why this is but now that I know about it, I've been able to get a few more modules to work.

I've found that a lot of the modules come packed in a directory containing two directories -> docs & html. If I follow on from that e.g. phpaddsnew/html/modules/adds/ the files I need are there so it's only the final directory that I require 'adds'.
Dropping this into the modules directory has sorted out a lot of the problems I was having and more modules are now working but there are still some problems with some of them. For example 'Discography Database Module 1.2' It seems to be missing the logo image but it allows you to install it. then, only after the install, does it display that old 'module for file not found message'. I've found this with a few more modules.
Eploring down through the html files did get a lot more of them working though.

I've noticed that many (if not most) of the modules in the repository seem to have files missing that are preventing me from installing them. When I upload them to the modules directory i get the error message 'Module File for Not Found!' and they cannot be installed.
Are there some kind of generic files that I should get or is there some kind of common process that will get them up and running.

A module like this would also be very helpful for me to list bands on my site. If visitors could list bands / members just like a forum menberlist, I'd be very happy indeed
