In .9.1 you have to edit a file or two to active and alter a plugin. http://b2evolution.net/man/2004/06/16/plugins_on_off_howto covers it.

Thanks, or maybe is there an upgrade I can download that will make it a little easier for someone who is not good with coding?
I noticed on the demo there are controls for the different the different plugins, my contol panel does not have that.

TIA

The demo is actually CVS, which means it's a few steps beyond 1.6 (which was an alpha release) which was a step or two beyond .9.1. End result is the only way you're gonna go there is if you upgrade to 1.6 AND download the latest and greatest from CVS. The problem with that is if you want to upgrade beyond that you'll have to do a lot of work manually. 1.6 would be okay, but I don't think it has the plugin control as detailed as you see in the demo.

Thanks Ed, I guess I will stay with what I have and wait for a future upgrade.
Appreciate your time, :)
