I wish it were that easy. I followed the the CB 1.81 installation instructions to the tee. I couldn't understand how to turn off the Joomla registration and only have the CB registration turned on (but believe me I tried to decipher the instructions for hours). In the "warning warning warning" section of the instructions, since I loaded Joomla without the sample data (was that a mistake btw), I didn't have a menu to nest the "CB mandatory" menu link into; so, I don't know if I did that part correctly? Not sure how to tell if I did that part correctly either... but, it sounds like you don't think I did that part correctly? I do have a login visible on the front page (were you able to visit the site?). It only works for the admin login though. As I registered through it with a non admin entry, when I log in with it, I am brought to a screen that says I'm logged in but not allowed to view this private section of the site. So it does sound to me like I may not have the Joomla native registration turned off. If this is the case, please clear up the part in the instructions to let me know exactly (an easy step by step would be nice) how to turn on CB registration & turn off Joomla's. Also, please do the same and tell me exactly how to install that initial "mandatory menu" (again, an easy step by step would be nice).

On reading the welcome email for the "Community Pro" template, I will down load the documentation and go from there. Still not sure how to load up the other plugins and/or make them work. Is there documentation for each that I'm missing (if so please point out where to go for that).

...thank so much for the superior product and superior support...
