Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

Not able to post blog entries, stories, polls, etc

I'm not sure what happened. But somehow users and admins are no longer allwoed to post blog entries, stories, etc. When you click the add content button, progress shows, but nothing happens.

ecommerce shipping issues

Ok, I'm completely new with this Drupal thing. I'm sure there's a better place to post this question, but I'll be darned if I can figure out where that is, so bear with me.

Basically, I'm trying to set up an ecommerce site. I've been playing around a bit and have several issues I'm trying to sort out, but the main one revolves around ecommerce shipping. I installed the ecommerce module and have been playing around with it, and so far I'm quite impressed, but in all the tests I've ran, shipping is not calculated.

As I'm going through a dropshipper, I don't have any account with UPS to autocalculate shipping, and there are no options for the weight of the products. To top it off, I have a $2 handling charge per item from the drop shipper, and I really don't want to inflate product prices to include that.

So, what I really need is some basic shipping functionality where I can set estimated prices according to weight, and have the handling surcharge tacked onto that and displayed as a total shipping and handling charge. How on earth do I do that? I have some limited PHP programming experience, and although I'd rather not, I'd be willing to modify some module or another to hack in this functionality. Frankly, Drupal is so complicated that I'm not sure where to start poking.

So, any links to the right place to ask this, some tips on where I should try hacking this

Contact Module Problem - under some conditions I don't recieve sitewide emails

Hi All,

Having a great time using Drupal so far. One small snag though. I've enabled Contact Module, and also enabled the sitewide contact form/menu. I've checked and doublecheck that I have the correct recipient in the sitewide contact form/menu.

Now here is where the "odd" part begins...

1. If I use the sitewide contact form to send an email and use my personal email address as the "Your Email Address" field, then I receive the email in my webmaster account inbox.
2. If I use the sitewide contact form to send an email and use a made up email address (just to test) or use my work email address, then I don't receive it. Also, I have a record in my Administrator Log of a couple of people who are recorded as having sent an email using the Sitewide Contact form, but I never received it in my webmaster account inbox.
3. If I log in and use my personal contact form instead of the sitewide one, then it works also - webmaster account gets the email.

So clearly the webserver is capable of sending the emails, but for some reason many/most people who might try to use the sitewide contact form will fail.

Anyone else experienced this. I'm hoping it is just something foolish on my part.

A bit more info:

I've created a single category here - /?q=admin/contact - checked and double checked that the recipient is correct (webmaster@mysite.net), etc. Then I enabled the sitewide contact menu (which goes to /?q=contact).

Showing image from most recently posed flexinode...

Using 4.6/Phptemplate and the flexinode module... Wondering if there is a way to pull the first image from the most recently posted flexinode that has an image in it as well as the title of the flexinode and display it on a page. Anything that would point me into the right direction would be much appriciated.

Create a Forum Step by Step

I need a step by step tutorial about how to setting up a Drupal Forum. I was trying doing it but I failed and the documentation at Handbooks Drupal Site is minimal and very bad. I don't need a super Forum just a simple one but I need help. Thanks
