Morning all,
just setting up a Drupal 6 install with the Forum Core Module and Advanced Forum and am coming across a problem where all topics I post are locked as soon as they are posted.
The topics have comments Read/Write selected. I've set permissions so all users except anonymous can post topics.
Done some looking around with no luck or solutions
There is an issue between Advanced Forum and Comment Block which was preventing the rest of the forum layout to load correctly and forcing topics to be locked. Disabling the module let everything drop in to place.

I've looked absolutely everywhere for an answer to this, and so far have not gotten any that have solved my problem. It seems like it should be simple, but Im either getting answers that tell me to press a "Delete Account" button in my dashboard that simply IS NOT there, or someone says "look it up on Google" or something else that is not at all helpful. I've looked and am getting very frustrated. So, here's my question(s):
If I cancel the hosting (Blue Host), will it automatically cancel all payments relating to the site? That is, is signing up on WordPress free, with the hosting being the part that is paid? I can't find statements or anything related to the WordPress part of it, so I'm hoping that the hosting is the only part I'm paying for (this site was started a few years ago, and I just don't have time for it, so I don't remember anymore.)
Can a Wordpress.org account/site actually be deleted? I've emptied all the contents as stated in the documentation, but when it comes to actually pressing "Delete Account," the button is no where to be found in my dashboard! As long as I'm not paying for it to just sit there, I guess I can leave it, but I'd prefer to delete it altogether, if possible.
Thank you to anyone who offers constructive advice on this topic. I know others have asked about this, but none of those solutions have worked, so I'm asking again. (It also doesn't help that WordPress doesn't offer direct support, only forums, so if you happen to know of a good resource outside of their own documentation--which, as stated, hasn't helped me--I'll appreciate the referral.)
if you want to delete your site just delete all the file for this site in public_html folder. or if you want delete hosting for this site contact with your hosting provider. you can do it if you want to do.
But I think you can sell your domain, if your domain age is above 5 years may be your domain has SEO domain authority (DA) . you can sell it .
I´m currently developing the Intranet for the company I am working for. The site is currently based on SharePoint, but I have to migrate it to Wordpress. And that´s my first developer experience with Wordpress, you just should know. Creating the theme, content and working with the WP Admin area works very well, but where I´m feeling defenseless is the permissions topic.
Generally, the whole page content is managed by the Marketing department. So, for me it is ok that they have access to WP Admin and I would use one of the predefined roles available.
But there will be also an area for the departments where specified users per department should be able to
edit the pre created page content
add subpages and edit its content (it would be nice if it can be defined which page templates can be selected by the user)
add posts for a pre created category (that should not be changeable by the user)
edit its profile and password
A whole access to WP Admin should be therefore prevented.
I read much information about roles, capabilities and reviewed forums and blogs presenting potential plugins. But to be honest, I´ve lost the overview and I´m totally scared about what´s the right way to do such like this the professional way.
Is there anybody who was already in such a situation or knows a good resource where to read more?
Thanks a lot.

PressPermit is the tool I choosed. It covers all needs described in my question.
Note: To use all features, you need to buy a support subscription currently available for $55 a year for one site.
However, a very powerful tool and in comparison to Advanced Access Manager I tried before, it really supports permissions also for multiple roles.
If you are thinking about, use the screencasts to see if the tool cover your needs. Unfortunately, there is no trial available, but you can request an evolution wordpress installation which was setup within one day in my case. This service costs $5.
Could somebody tell me which drupal module is this site using: http://gallery.menalto.com/forum
Also could somebody tell me how it'd be if I use it on my new site for forum discussion for 2000 people daily? I'm looking for simple discussion forum with following functionality:
Easy maintenance
I should be able to easily remove spammy user posts
Some sort of spam prevention.
I'd be using Drupal-6 and not 7.
Yes, the link you provide is the Drupal forum.
Drupal isn't exactly famous for its forum - some sites even use third party forums which are bridged to Drupal.
Nonetheless, the most "direct" and easy-to-maintain forum for Drupal would probably be Drupal itself.
You can use Mollum for spam prevention.
The third-party forums primarily distinguish themselves in offering granular privileges to moderators of specific forums. If you don't need this, I'd stick with the Drupal forum module.
Notice also Erik Ahlswede's answer here - in addition to the standard Drupal Forum, it appears to be running the Advanced Forum module, which provides some of the extra functionalities - however, as Michele notes, it this isn't actually the Advanced Forum module, it's some hacks which provide similar functionalities.
No, they aren't using Advanced Forum. They are using Drupal's forum but heavily customized. They customized their forum before AF even existed, back in D5. If their changelog is accurate, they haven't upgraded.
That said, if you want a site that looks like that, AF will get you pretty close. With 2K people daily, do you mean visitors or active posters? One thing you need to watch out for is performance as Drupal's forum has a couple nasty queries and AF has them as well since it builds on top.
For a bit of trivia... I actually came to Drupal when looking for something to let me add text to my Gallery 2 site and their forum was an inspiration for AF in the early days. :)

That may be the Advanced Forum module. It extends Drupals core module and adds ways to create forum themes.
I have a website that I want to setup so that users can register for the site but the administrator of the site will have the final say on whether or not they can be a member of the site or not.
I am running Wordpress 3.0.1 and Buddypress 1.2.5, buddypress is used to register the user, so I assume it will need to be a buddypress plugin that is used to allow or deny the user. I have searched and searched and cannot come up with any plugin that replicates this functionality. Are there any out there, or anything that gives a similar experience?
Many Thanks To Anyone That Helps,

Here is a BP component for Allow / Deny User:
http://webdevstudios.com/support/wordpress-plugins/buddypress-registration-options/
The description:
A WordPress BuddyPress plugin that allows for new member moderation, if moderation is turned on from the admin settings page, any new members will be blocked from interacting with any buddypress elements (except editing their own profile and uploading their avatar) and will not be listed in any directory until an administrator approves or denies their account.
I have just completed a thorough research exercise on this, with the same requirement in mind. The sad truth of the matter is that most of the plugins that supposedly give you this functionality do not work fully and properly. I tried a number of plugins including:
Buddypress Registration Options
Absolute Privacy
Angsuman’s Authenticated WordPress Plugin
BuddyPress Private Community
All of these failed to give me bulletproof security. They largely seemed to block standard WordPress pages, but didn't block public access to the Activity, Members, Groups and other sections. Other issues were simply getting it to work with WP 3.0.1. I found I had to dig into the plugin code and hack it to get a decent result.
Finally, I settled on a plugin called "registered-users-only-2". This totally blocks users who are not registered. However, it doesn't give you moderation functionality.
I hope this helps your quest.
Which do you use and why? Does one provide any clear advantages over the other?
I use admin_menu for administrators and developers who need quick access to administration functions, but I use admin for everyone else.
Admin's main weakness for administrators, that it only shows you one section of the menu at a time, is also its main strength for content creators and maintainers who would be overwhelmed by all menu options. The fact that you can have a sidebar with just Create content is great for data entry.
A big plus of admin is its ability to be tucked away into one corner instead of taking up the entire top of the website. In my user testing, people don't seem to think they're editing the live site when the site has a toolbar attached to it: before switching to admin, I would frequently get questions asking how they could see the live site when logged in.
I find them both slower than just using the default system, they both add to page load times and it's very easy to get to the admin page you want using Firefox's url suggestion feature.
Be careful using admin menu, for sites with lots of modules it's buggy, in my experience. It disappears without reason. I've been developing websites on Drupal for 5 or more years and admin_menu was one of my favourites admin tools...
For small sites, I recommend it. For sites with lots of modules I wouldn't recommend it. See the admin_menu isssues, search "disappear" and you will find people complaining about it. Some patches have been submitted, in my case the bug persists.
Be careful with this module on D7.
Admin menu provides a quicker way to get to many of the core admin functions rather than going via admin. It is part of D7 but in D6 is has been known to be buggy and slow.
