This is my first post here, I can't believe I've never come accross Community Builder before, it seems to be exactly what I need.

I can't believe it also ... as CB is on of the most popular extensions for Joomla. See out listing and feel free to vote and review (if you have something good to say - if you have something bad we want to hear about it here!)

I have a few newbie style questions though:

1, Being quite new to Joomla as well, should I develop my site using 1.5 or just jump straight into 1.6 even though 1.6 may well have some bugs?

Ha - answer is ... it depends...
I for one will wait for at least Joomla 1.6.3 before doing anything serious or critical.

2, If I start with 1.5, how easy will it be to upgrade to 1.6 in a few months time?

Well CB will not have a problem since it currently works on both codebases. But I would tend to think that migration is not easy.

3, If I start with 1.5, will Community Builder 1.4 work with it when it is released?

Yes, CB 1.4 will work. CB 1.4 RC has already been released to Professional members and has been announced (see front page article for public release).

4, If I start with 1.6 and wait for Community Builder 1.4, will all the Community Builder add-ons work straight away?

Our will work pretty quickly - not sure about third party ones..

Thanks in advance for your help.

Mark.
