Thank you Nick for that reply.
Your right about needing to dig into Joomla! and Community Builder to get a feel for them, this is my first week with the software. I guess I fell victim to all the hype and thought that Joomla! would come out of the box ready to solve my problems magically 
Here is what I was trying to accomplish with Joomla! and Community Builder that I was able to do with my previous (and no longer supported) Content Management System:- user directories
- FTP access to user directory
- sub-domain for each user directory i.e. user.mydomain.com
- custom templates for each user
- e-mail account i.e. user@mydomain.com
- The ability to limit users to creating articles for their subdomain only
So I came here trying to determine if Community Builder can fill this tall order. I started pouring through all the documentation I can find on both Joomla! and Community Builder. I have come to the conclusion that it might still be possible, but I doubt it will be as wholely integrated as I had hoped.

I would have to say that joomla even with CB is very far from satisfying these needs.
It sounds like you want to setup a hosting environment - joomla was not designed for this.

I am just starting with CB, I have some joomla experience, but you guys don't make things easy for new users. I'm sure I'll figure it out, but it shouldn't be a big scavenger hunt. There are lots of file and extensions and you should give a new user a CLEAR starting point. The joomla extension page and your download page hav lots of files but no real starting point for the cb beginner. I'll spend a week or so trying to figure it out . Hope it's not a waste of time. If someone can wysiwyg ii together for the next person, I'm sure it would be appreciated.

I have just registered. I was hoping for a high level idea of what CB does. What I'm looking for is an events thingy for our charity website and saw Birthday, hoping it could be used in a more generic events way. I can't even find a beginners description of what that does, even if I search.
Could someone tell me what a community is and list it's features?
The Link "What is CB" from the registration welcome only describes HOW it's done not WHAT it can do for me (or define what community is)!
Could someone point the idiot in the right direction?
Thanks.

Thanks for your time.

Wonder if anyone can answer me question?
I want to build a community that allows the member to store details and preferences of available offers etc that I will make available from the site.
Is this something the CB can do and can I find examples of sites that already utilise CB so I can get a feel for its functionality?
thanks
Andrew
