Excellent. Thank you. Is there a webpage which contains this?

Haisam,

In overview, you need to

  - enable the forum module
        administer->modules
           check the 'forum' box to enable the forum module

  - create a vocabulary which will associate to forum topics
        administer->categories->Add Vocabulary
           A good name would be "Forum Topics"
              e.g.
                 Forum Topics
                    Food
                       Recipes
                       Restaurants
                           Greek
                           Mexican
                           Ethiopian
                           Indonesian
                       Nutrition

           The "Type" this vocabulary should apply to is "forum topic"
           Make it a single hierarchy
           Disable multiple select
           Make the vocabulary 'required'

  - associate the vocabulary to forum topics:
        administer->settings->forums
           In the dropdown list of vocabularies, select the
           vocabulary you have just created ("Forum Vocabulary")

           If you have topics which should be 'containers' only,
           and not have topics in them, select these in the
           list of terms you have defined in your forum topics
           vocabulary.  E.g., in our example, you could have
           Food, Recipes, Restaurants, Nutrition be containers.
           (or not :)

  - decide which users will have permissions to create topics,
    add comments, and so on.
        administer->users->configure->permissions

 Play with the other settings at your leisure to discover how they

work. Have fun... hope this helps.

I'm so confused on how to creat forums.

I am able to create forum topics but when I click on ?q=forum I get the statement that 'No Forums defined' . I went to administrator->settings->forum but I don't understand. I'm using 4.5.2. -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]

Well... there is this: http://drupal.org/node/1151

But it does not seem to have anything except comments! It could do with some work.

Of course, anyone is welcome to help out (try discussing it on the drupal-docs mailing list http://drupal.org/mailing-lists ).

I made a note of it in drupal-docs.

I wrote some documentation on create forums at http://support.bryght.com/adminguide/forums
