I have Group, Forum, and Group Forum installed. The content type "Forum Topic" is installed in the "Content" tab of the group type's config page. Permissions are set so that a "member" of a specific group type should be able to add, edit, view, and delete forum topics, and the "Create Forum Topic" option appears in the "Group Operations" dropdown.

However, when I click on "Create Forum Topic", the screen refreshes and remains on the main group page.

I can install other content types, assign the same permissions, and group members can create those types of content.

I'm not getting any error messages and I have no idea how to track this down.

I'm also not clear that this is a Group issue, a Forum issue, or a Group Forum issue. Feel free to move it as appropriate.

How did you even get that far? I'm trying to do the same thing, and my site says:

"To create forum topics, visit your group page.
You are not allowed to post new content in the forum."

As per the module's readme, I have:
Installed Group, Group Node, Group Forum, Forum...
Created a forum container and a forum within it...
Created a group type, and given it a taxonomy reference field with a very specific machine name, 'field_forum_containers'...
Set that field to cardinality unlimited...
Gone to the group type's Set Available Content page and installed Group node (Forum topic)...
Used the taxonomy reference field on the group I created to associate the forum inside of the container I made with said group...
Set the group permissions to allow creating forum topics and what-not (I just gave members all the permissions)
Added members to the group.

Yet, I get the error I posted above.

I have NOT done this:
Give Authenticated User permission to post new forum topics (because that would allow anybody to create new forum topics)

Never mind, it is working for me. As it turned out, I had created the field field_field_forum_containers, because I just copy pasted what the module told me to name the field, forgetting that Drupal adds an extra field_ at the beginning of fields.

If you do the steps as I outlined them in my post above, it should work.
