I can only give it a GOOD rating because my users are reporting that it doesn't work well with IE6. It's impossible to read anything in it because the "tables" or whatever it's made of are collapsed.
Works perfect with FF and IE7.

Most people will probably see this plugin as merely a community enhancement designed to encourage interaction between users. And this plugin delivers in that area! But it can be so much more!

Thanks to the versatility of the Community Builder platform, we use CB for volunteer communication, personnel tracking, and project planning. I have several CB/Joomla installs setup to allow my staff and I to manage thousands of volunteers and dozens of projects. This setup has replaced our previous software tracking system which cost over 1 Million Dollars! (We still use that software for other things CB/Joomla can't do.)

One install is used to allow the volunteers to communicate with each other. ProfileBook is a brilliant community jumpstarter that gets our volunteers talking with each other right away and keeps them on the site day after day. with volunteers all over the world, this is vital to our success.

Another CB/Joomla site allows my staff to track volunteers and instantly look up any detail about a volunteer. The volunteers do not have access to their profiles on this site. ProfileBook allows my staff to leave comments about a volunteer and their work. Whenever I need to know something about a volunteer, I just read through the comments my staff have made in their profile.

Yet another install allows my staff from around the world to plan and coordinate our projects by using a profile as a project planning page. CB fields become a wizard like process to follow when planning. ProfileBook allows us to comment on the project and note when we've made a change to the project. Thanks to ProfileBook, we can track the history of how a project has developed down to the day, time, and person making the changes.

All in all this is a brilliant plugin that can be of great use to anyone who wants an active community, an advanced tracking system, or an online collaborative project management center.

A huge thank you to the CB Team for their amazing software and this great plugin!

I tried without luck to install the Buzz Board, but this installed smoothly and is a very nice feature. It is highly configurable and adds a nice interactive touch to the Profiles.

I decided to change the name of this "Guest book like plugin" to simply "Guest Book" on my site. I did this without problem by editing the language file. I also disabled the rating feature.

As both a Joomla and Community Builder newbie I found this plugin extremely easy to install. I have tested it in IE 7, IE6 and Firefox and it works like a charm. Great job! :)

This was so easy to install, set up, and tweak (excellent comments in the code). I was able to do it while watching Sponge Bob with my Spawn. I don't know if there are any problems with IE6 or not, but I already have an IE6 warning up on my site, so whatever. Thanks!
