There must be something very basic I am missing.

I have upgraded from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6 and am trying to get views plug-ins to work. Specifically I need the grid and table styles right now and cannot figure out why they are not showing. My understanding is that they should show up as options under row style. There must be something in the install or configuration I'm missing? I couldn't find any install guide that says I need to do anything special. I also installed Views Bonus although I understand it's not necessary for these features in this release? Do I still need to move the tpl.php files into my theme directory if I don't want to override them?

An installation/configuration tutorial would be very helpful. perhaps I'll write one if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong.

See attachments.

Table and grid are both styles, not row styles.

Please don't mark support requests critical. By doing this you're saying that your question is just as important as a crash bug.

Sorry about the "critical" priority. I won't use it again if I don't consider it a serious bug.

For the benefit of other newbies: I had tried the Styles, but used the gear icon and didn't see the styles, which appear below when you click "Unformatted" . The UI is not intuitive for me but works well once i've gotten familiar with it.

Thank you for all your contributions to make Drupal awesome.

Yeah, that part of the UI is known to be an unfamiliar pattern. The image in the getting started page in the advanced help is supposed to help with that, but it helps some people more than others.
