Browsing Drupal.org for modules and testing them out is probably one of my favorite work past times. (I hope my boss doesn't read this post) Drupal in itself is an amazing CMS but because of the amazing community backing it up makes Drupal by far the best CMS out there.
Here is my top 10 favorite modules of the month countdown list:
10. Tribune - Download
This little module came out of no where and brightened my day as I was working on a new website for a client. It's like a live posting chat room that you can add into a view, when fully installed this module can show user location, flag posts, you can even show user avatars and post smileys like this :P. It was no hassle to install and I can't wait to use this on a project.
9. Vote up/down - Download
4. Auction - Download
This module combined with any of Drupal's Ecommerce installation profiles can turn any sales item into a Auction item with a countdown timer and you can add it to any content type field. Auction away.
3. Countdown Timer - Download
We survived yet another end of the world, but did any of you actually have a cool countdown on your website? With this module it is basically install, setup and whala! You have your very own countdown timer, yet again you can add the timer to any content type field, also with Panels if you use mini panels you can have a stand alone timer anywhere, anytime.
2. Sky Field - Download
With this module the sky is the limit, now you can add a field to any entity on your website, you are not restricted to content types anymore, now you can add fields to users, nodes and even comments.
1. Ifly Chat module - Download Ifly from the official Ifly website
This module is my number one for this month. It provides a facebook style chat room. This is the best chat module by far that you will see on drupal, it is free to use for up to 10 users, its almost too easy to install and when you reach your limit for users the pricing plans are great. If you purchase a plan from the website you are able to customize and add chatrooms how you like and as many as you like.

9. Vote up/down - Download
If you are looking to make a user vote site like the famous www.reddit.com site, this is your module. On its own its a pretty standard, yet powerful voting system you can implement as a field on any type of content, what makes it even better is that you can add the field to any content type by simply going to the vote up/down settings and ticking a box.
8. Panels Extra Styles - Download
Panels, panels, panels, what can I say, anything that contributes to the already amazing Panels modules is OK in my book, with this tool and the right know how you can wrap and style your panels with unlimited potential.
7. Superfish - Download
The one that got away? Not this time, Superfish modules is one of the modules I almost always end up using for styling menu's. It's really easy to install and comes with a couple of pre designed options so even a fist timer can enable and use jquery navigation.
6. Panels Ajax Tab - Download
A little while ago I was working on a website and all of a sudden I realize that I missed the 'Tabs every where on your website' craze and was searching around the internet in a almost crazed state for something to help me get into the groove. This module saved my life. Using mini panels you can now simply add a tab container content type to a panel and then add as much tabs to the container.
5. Webform2Sugar - Download
This modules name should have been 'easiest way to make awesome webforms' guess the name was taken. Easy to install, and easier to use, this beats the hassle of coding a html webforms by probably a million times. Dropdown options of almost any type of field you would like to add to your webform.
4. Auction - Download
This module combined with any of Drupal's Ecommerce installation profiles can turn any sales item into a Auction item with a countdown timer and you can add it to any content type field. Auction away.
