Thanks Scott-- they are real basic forums, but pretty easy to set up and manage. There is a lot of ganularity to the controls. Drupal continues to amaze me in what can be done. For example, Trevor Larson, Doug's son, sent a message requesting a buy-sell capability. It took less than an hour to find one that met our needs with minimum hassle and installed it in with access control and all.

Note you can subscribe to individual items, or whole forums, which gives you an email if anyone posts. Plus any content can be scheduled-- publish (display) starting date/time and unpublish at a given date/time. Thus I had a Polar bear announcement up on the front page, but it went away at 8AM Jan 2.

I set you up as a forum moderator, content author/editor, etc.
