That was in Drupal 6. In Drupal 7, taxonomy is handled with fields. So you edit your forum node type and assign the taxonomy as a field. The docs need to be updated to reflect that.

Your actual request is unrelated to this problem and not something that AF can help you with. There is nothing I know of that will give you a forum per term.

I have been checking through this, it is observed that, a vocabulary named "forums" is created and then each forum is created as term in the forums, by default "general discussion" is created, is it possible to select an existing vocabulary? that will solve my problem

No, that is not possible without core and AF hacking.

I found the answer to kaizerking's issue, you just have to edit the database directly. In the variables table look for "forum_nav_vocabulary".

I just wanted to comment that this is a fundamentally stupid problem. The option to choose which vocabulary to use for Forums is an obvious configuration requirement, which makes its omission in the D7 Forum module inexcusable. Couple that with the fact that Forum is a core module and good developers shouldn't be modifying core, and you end up with a situation that can needlessly frustrate users just because they don't want to use the default Forum setup.

Are there any known issues or simply a DON'T DO changing forum_nav_vocabulary variable to an other vocabulary ID?

Thanks!
