The forum component is not installed. Please contact your site administrator

I've been searching all over, and getting answers to dance around the steps. I've installed everything (carefully w/manual-directions) and tabs seem to work except this one. Does anyone have the answer? I am using CB 1.4 Joomla 1.6 if that helps any.

Thanks!

Have you installed a forum component?

Kunena is recommended although I do not think they have a Joomla 1.6 version yet.

FYI - your first search spot should be the FAQ section -> Support -> FAQ.

There is an article that discusses the fact that our forum integration plugin needs a forum extension installed.

We only officially support Kunena. Any others likely won't have any integration with CB. Kunena is not yet 1.6 ready. However you can check Joomla.org for 1.6 ready extensions at the below link.

I highly recommend everyone slowing down on the Joomla 1.6.x wagon as developers need time to play "catch-up". Joomla 1.6.x is a HUGE change for developers.. a lot of API changed, ever so slightly, removed, etc.. has caused problems for migration to Joomla 1.6.x. Please give developers plenty of time to update.

We were only prepared as we started integration very early back in Beta stages. Even then we were crippled in CB 1.3 with release of stable 1.6 with last minute changes, which are now of course resolved with 1.4 recently released.
