The original problem was that casual drupal admin switches on forum but no comments.
I had someone fighting with exactly this. He spent more than an hour setting up forums (taxonomy nightmare), managed to post forum topics, but never managed to post follow ups. In the end, he phoned me for support. Of course, it took no more than 30 seconds to diagnose and fix the problem. Regardless, a pretty frustrating experience. The point? For us it's obvious that you have to enable the comment module to use forums, but for people that are not familiar with Drupal it is not. Those people assume that the forum module is self-contained.
I proposed that forum_help must drop an error message in this case. I got no replies on this.
I'd add a check in forum_admin() rather than in forum_help(). Feel free to share a patch. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
