[support] Forum Modules?

[Brian Choc]

The Forum Access module might be more helpful, but perhaps the opposite
effect.
http://drupal.org/project/forum_access

If you really want the UIE Forum module, it appears to still be available
for download here:
http://drupalmodules.com/module/uie-forum
(But it was likely pulled for a reason, so proceed with caution.)

There are also a number of forum integration modules including phpBB, SMF,
FUD, and others so you can probably find something that suits your needs.

I can't find any way to do that. I just took another look in case I'm 
missing something, but it looks to me that taxonomy_access only lets me 
control whether people can post forum *topics*. So you can start a new 
topic, but you can't reply to it.

I am not sure that taxonomy access can do anything at all with comments. 
You know when you create a new vocabulary (category), you have to enter 
what type of pages the vocabulary applies to. The options are: Forum 
topic, Blog entry, Page, Story. That's it. There is no option that says 
"comment", much less "comment inside a forum".

:-(

I don't understand why blog comments have to be attached to forum 
replies. It seems like such strange and inconvenient choice. There has 
to be a way to have different permissions for blog comments and for 
forum replies.

Daniel.
