General discussion

Hi all, just looked at drupal, looks good but was just wondering if it was right for the type of site i want.

Basically, i want a menu system listing all the different UK counties. These would then be split up into towns/cities.
Inside each town city i need a page content which can be classified into one of three types.

Eg...

Please can someone explain to me the logic behind the way threads are marked as "new" on Drupal forums? It seems pretty random to me (so random that I almost posted this as a bug report).

At the moment, the behaviour is this: A user submits a post to a thread and on the forum listing page it now says "1 new ".. I go to the thread and read the post, then go back to the main menu and it still says "1 new".

My perfered behaviour would go something like this:

Hi Admins,

Thanks for notifying about the recent security issues in Drupal 4.6.5. However, many of us do not prefer HTML email (in fact, I thought the email was spam)

Please send all emails and announcements as plain text emails.

Regards,

i'm using 4.6.6 and I have enabled the forum module and the forums give no option to add a comment or reply or anything. users can post new topics but no one can reply, not even the admin account. at first I thought i might have accidently deleted the code from somewhere in the template that writes the link to reply or add a comment, but I switched back to the default unmodified themes and still no luck.

any ideas?

Dunno if this has ever come up here before, but I thought folks might find it useful...

While upgrading to the latest version of Drupal, I was thinking that it would be nice if the 30 or so "after market" modules that I had installed could be moved out of the (rather cluttered) modules/ directory into a sub directory. Here's one approach I found for doing this, with minimal disruption to the site:

So, I'm trying to decide whether it's worth setting up a taxonomy category for "links." The other option is just to make a page and list links as a bullet list, or something like that.

I will probably do the latter, but I'm wondering if there are things I'm not considering. I figure I'll have to spend time building the CSS for the links page, to make it look nice (I don't need huge titles, etc.), and it just doesn't seem worth the effort.

And on that note: Is there a "links" module or something that I haven't spotted yet?

Thanks :)
