If you have not already done so please download and study the CB Documentation from the Advanced download area (you have access here also).

Also, please take a look at our picture-book tutorials here:
www.joomlapolis.com/support/tutorials/111-picture-books

and specifically these two:

I followed the pic book to the letter.

You must have missed something...

Please send me private message with backend superadmin access and I will see what you missed.

Ha - I see you installed the mycommunity template but failed to configure the CB Content module to show the CB menu.

I have temporarily switch the CB profile template (in CB Configuration -> Profile tab) to default and the manus are now back.

Please follow the Mycommunity documentation to configure the CB Content module to show the CB menus in a module.

If you need further help let me know.
