General discussion

This is mostly related to the Forum and Comment modules in Drupal, though it might have relevance elsewhere.

When login is required to post comments (or reply in the forum), clicking on login takes the user to the login page. Once logged in, the user lands on the user account page.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the user to land back on the page where the user started (e.g., the page where the user clicked the "login" link)? I didn't see a module or setting anywhere for that already in Drupal, but I think it probably makes the most sense - anyone want to weigh in?

IgnorantNewGuy here. : )

Does Drupal have Private Forums as a feature as phpBB does?
Does Drupal have Flash Tutorials to show me what the heck I'm doing as phpBB does?
Can I place any advertisments I wish on a Drupal created site?

I am NOT trying to compare Drupal to phpBB to dis Drupal, only to consider my options.

THANKS for any help you can provide!

Howday Drupalians!

Something strange happened while administering my site this morning. I was changing settings for a module (captcha, if I recall.) After I hit the save button the page refreshed and I found my main menu (the navigation menu) now had, like, 20 duplicates of one of the menu items. It want from:

• Home
• Blogs
• Recent Posts
• Contact Us

To this:

I am currently doing some research for my sociology thesis at Erasmus University (Rotterdam, Netherlands).
It's focus is on authorization or permission schemes and their usage on websites.
Basically: How do applications structure what people can or cannot do, and how is this structure actually used.

It takes only 5 minutes of your time and I would be very grateful ;-)

Results will off course be made available to the Drupal community,
contributing to knowledge about Drupal's usage and could possibly help to improve it.

This "your rescent topics" is a total lifesaver! This is the most useful feature I've ever seen on a forum.

One thing that might be even more useful is to write a block that constantly shows you your topics when you browse the forums. I normally find it very hard to follow up on all my posts on forums without having them spam me constantly with emails letting me know I've had a response.

Don't run Drupal forums myself, is this included in the default installation?

I seem to notice this more and more. SpreadFireFox, Drupal, Mozilla, other sites, using Arial and Verdana together. Generally the method is to use Arial as a headline font and Verdana as the body font.

It seems kind of odd to me, because common sense tells me that it shouldn't work, but for whatever reason, it looks just fine. I don't even know really exactly what I'm asking, but what are some "dos and don'ts" of using Arial and Verdana together?

Thanks
