[support] Forum module?

[KOBA | Hans Rossel]

I agree Advanced Forum in Drupal 6 is really no more than enabling the
module (and the required author pane module), just have a look at the
settings after installation and thats it. And its a great and easy way
to enhance the basic Drupal forum a lot. I use it for all forums,
thanks Michelle!
