[support] FORUM permission and moderation granularity

[Davide Galletti]

Thanks Cog, thanks Shyamala,

it doesn't seem to do any difference

it works as long as Taxonomy Access Control (TAC) Module is disabled

It looks like TAC module is not Forum-aware ... this is the test I have 
done:
1) start from scratch with a 5.2
2) create a couple of forums and users
3) admin/user/access   give authenticated users "create forum topics" 
permission
4) users are able to create topics in any forum
5) install and enable TAC (no settings changed)
6) BUG: users find an empty drop down list when they want to create new 
forum topics

It is quite a surprise to me, so I still think I am doing something 
wrong ...

7) adding in TAC
    Show-Allow Update-Allow Delete-Deny Create List
    permission to authenticated user for Forum-*default* and for all 
forums does
    not change the behaviour ...

Am I missing something? Is it really a TAC forum incompatibility?
Anybody else has come across before??


Thansk everybody for your help!

Davide
