registered to subscribe, sounds good! thanks!

That's a beautiful job on your CB template. I'll be interested in knowing when it's finished.

Thanks!

I had to take a new approach on some things such as the Accordion I had built to replace the tabs, its going to take a little bit more code to work properly so I am working on that more recently. So in the next hours, days some of the Div W/Title may disappear and be moved into tabs temporarily until I can execute the new code.

Thanks,
James

I'm just launching my social site so I'm having a hard time choosing CB or Jomsocial. I have both. Started with JomSocial but had issues with it.

The problem is, BOTH have issues. The biggest issue for CB at the moment is "the wall", which I feel is essential. I have the Profilebook trio that includes GuestBook, Blog and Wall. These are simple/simplistic but effective and my users can handle simple a whole lot better anyway. But... the editor is so terrible that it makes these 3 unusable. The text doesn't appear in the window until I've finished typing and removed my mouse cursor from the text area. And I can't replace the editor, not without hacking it anyway. I installed two other text editors and made them default, but it didn't help Profilebooks's Wall or Blog.

I checked out CB Buzzboard2, but when I tried to enter a comment, the popup box for doing that hid in the upper left corner and I couldn't get it out of the attic to enter anything. And I want to inflict THIS on my users? Not.

I think CB has a future if developers like James and other developers (such as the Axxis Activity Modules) continue to keep it modern. CB looks old-fashioned. And it really needs the new social networking features that are so popular. I've done what I could with the template, and I'm actually very pleased with what I did, but I can only do so much and Jomsocial still looks better. Somebody who is good with templates has an opportunity here, I think....

I've been debating with myself if I should try to make a template for Jomsocial's profile Page: it has problems as well. There's no tabs: all the apps are listed one after the other on the profile page, so the page gets longer and longer and longer... In fact, I didn't even know all that stuff was down there, I couldn't FIND it, and I'm not the only one who had that problem! Where in the world did my new plugin's GO? When I finally found them I was disgusted.

Another problem with Jomsocial is the photos. If I upload, I'm logged out. Every time. And there's no limits on photos or albums. I can't have that. I installed SimGallery but it has limited integration at this point, and the LOGGED OUT problem happens with Sim Gallery too. This does not make a good impression on users, not at all.

If CB had a decent Wall, that would swing it for me. All the photos apps work perfectly in CB, whereas JomSocial has big problems in that area. I do pay for stuff if I can get what I need, because I'm aiming for a professional site, not an amateur jerry-rigged almost-made-it kind of system. And I can't seem to do that with either Jomsocial or CB so far. I'm kinda upset at the moment because I wanted to get my site launched a week ago already.
