Depending on your needs for specific modules, you might find DrupalGardens a good option for developing sites in Drupal 7 at this time. A forum can be set up, and once Drupal 7 settles down, you have the choice to stay on DrupalGardens or export your site and theme to another host. http://www.drupalgardens.com/

FYI, I tried Drupal 7 (also as a new user) and found it not ready for newbies to use. Many of the themes and modules have not been updated yet, and there is only one book yet, and the platform is still changing. The online docs were useful, but left gaps that caused me to waste a lot of time. So, I went with version 6 and figured to upgrade when 7 was formally released. It's hard enough getting to know Drupal without dealing with bugs too.

The best,

Carl,

Thanks, I will do that next time (yes, a screenshot would have been
much more meaningful).
The views module got updated today. After I installed the update, the
problem went away.

I don't know the answer to your question, but it is difficult to determine
what you are asking. To facilitate the most useful help, please
use http://pastebin.com/ for pasting code and http://imagebin.org/ or Skitch
for posting screenshots. Also turn off devel_themer module so that your
markup is clean -- it creates all of those span tags.
That documentation page you linked is from August of this year. It could be
stale information.

I am relatively new to drupal, and this is the first time I am trying
to setup a forum.
I am using the drupal 7 release from Dec 1st, and I followed the forum
setup documentation (http://drupal.org/node/796472).

My issue is:

In the list of forum topics, the topic list is not displayed properly.
This is how it looks like:


<span thmr="thmr_62"><a href="/druptest/testtopic">&lt;span
thmr=&quot;thmr_32&quot;&gt;&lt;a
href=&quot;/druptest/testtopic&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;span
thmr=&amp;quot;thmr_7&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a

href=&amp;quot;/druptest/testtopic&amp;quot;&amp;gt;testtopic&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</a></span>

thmr=&quot;thmr_40&quot;&gt;&lt;a
href=&quot;/druptest/new-topic&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;span
thmr=&amp;quot;thmr_15&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a
href=&amp;quot;/druptest/new-topic&amp;quot;&amp;gt;new

topic&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</a></span>

Additionally to the tags instead of just "testtopic" (liked), it shows
that I posted this 40 years and 11 months ago.
When checking the posting directly, the date is correct, also the date on
my
server is correct.

First I thought it is an issue with the theme I was using, but after
changing themes twice (now at the default Bartik 7.0-rc1), it looks
like the problem is
somewhere else.

Any ideas?

Ursula
