Its been a while since I used CB on websites, and a lot has changed. Here is my problems.

I highly suggest reviewing your CB documentation, which you can download from the Advanced downloads section as it will guide you through basic CB usage and setup.

1. My View Profile/User Profile links do not work and I have the menu item set to published, both the CB login module and a Menu Item.

Can you better describe what you mean by "do not work"? Does clicking them go no where? Do they not display?

2. SOBI is installed, but I cannot get the TAB to show in the Profile. Its set to TAB>TABMAIN>REGISTERED

We didn't develop SOBI or its CB plugin so I can't really help you in this regard. You'll need to contact SOBI regarding its usage. If it has a CB plugin then ensure the plugin is enabled within CB > Plugin Management. Also ensure within CB > Tab Management that its tab is published, public, and in a appropriate tab position (not a "not shown on profile" position).

3. MEMBERS AREA list shows nothing, Its a migration from J2.5. So Im going into the old Joomla 1.7 and seeing there settings and making sure they all match and they do..still the list is empty.

Migrations cause ACL mismatching. You need to edit your userlist and adjust the usergroups the list is visible to and re-select the usergroups to include in the userlist. Please also check your Filters and ensure you're not filtering everyone out. You can edit your userlist within CB > List Management.

4. I downloaded every download I was allowed and installed them GROUPJIVE PROFILE BOOK and cannot get them to show on the TABS, like your website does.

Once a plugin is installed. It must be enabled. You can enable plugins within CB > Plugin Management.

5. I would like to set up the PM, do not know how or what to use..any suggestions.

You'll need to install UddeIM and setup the Private Messaging System plugin within CB > Plugin Management. Please see your documentation as mentioned earlier as it'll walk you through setting it up.

6. CBSUbs installed..cannot get a Tab either.

Please see my reply to #4.

I have a deadline of Friday and the holiday is here.. July 4th!

As its been awhile since you've used CB you're basically completely new to CB. This maybe a very unrealistic goal to get up and running depending on your needs. I highly suggest reviewing your documentation as mentioned earlier as it'll help you get setup. We also have some tutorials, which you can find below.

Nick has also been doing webinars and walking the audience through CB installation and setup. You can find the videos of the first webinar below, which maybe of great help.

If I understand your issue correctly the profile page is timing out? Please enable debug mode and maximum error reporting within Joomla global configuration. Once both are set retest your profile and see if issue persists or if an error is now displayed on screen. If issue persists disable non-core CB plugins within CB > Plugin Management, retesting after each one, until issue goes away.
