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

Acidfree 500 Error

Hello, all. I'm pretty new to drupal and have a website up and running, and have been trying to get some photo albums going with acidfree. I installed filemanager and acidfree fine and easy, and both filemanager and acidfree claim to be set up right. I can create albums, upload photos, etc, but any time I try to edit anything using the acidfree panel (such as title, description, etc), I get thrown to a 500 internal server error... with nothing else. I can access the photos just fine- I seem to be able to do anything but edit the description, title etc.

Taxonomy Access and Category Module

For some reason it does not work.

See the following images:

The first image shows how I have set the permission for my container Private for the user anonymous_user which I assume means someone not logged in.

nice menu display problem

Hello all, I have been working on trying to get nice menus to actually "be" nice. I have installed nice menus in three sites so far and as of yet I cannot get around one really big bug (my most recent workaround is not to have submenus - and that invalidates thier usefulness). Using the horizontal menu setting, the submenus do not align to the bottom of the top level menus. I have been able to set the padding and top of these two items:

ul.nice-menu a {
padding: 0.3em 15px 0.3em 5px;
display: block;
}

ul.nice-menu ul{
position: absolute;
top: 1.8em;
left: -1px;
border: 0;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
margin-right: 0;
display: none;
}

and it helps, as long as no one gets the idea to resize the website. When one resizes the site to say 150% (IE, FFox, Ms - Mozilla, Opera) a gap forms in between the menus and submenus. Once that gap is there, if the user tries to scroll over to the submenu it collapses since the user actually leaves the nice-menu without entering the sub-menu. I hope that there is someone out there who knows what is causing this dreaded and tortuous functionality. I am at wits end here and getting ready to attempt to put together my own drop down menu using css.

The funny thing is "nice-menus" is the only drop down horizontal menu that I have seen so far that has this problem. I hope that this problem can be addressed soon.

"files/.htaccess" always necessary?

Hi,

I am currently installing drupal on yahoo hosting. I've created and uploaded all necessary files to the server root (as far as I remember, drupal is not working under sub-directory if .htaccess is not allowed like Yahoo hosting). I tried same setting with Startlogic server and it works fine. But with Yahoo server, IE displays HTTP 403 (Forbidden) message. File permissions for php and other sub directorys are exactly same but under "files/.htaccess" as Yahoo is not allowing.

Posts to forums don't actually appear in forums

In a new Drupal installation (4.7.3) we've gone about creating a few forums, and are trying to post new posts to some of them. We use "Post New Forum Topic" when viewing the list of posts in a forum for doing this, incidentally. Every post we add appears in "Recent Posts" just fine, but while viewing index.php?q=forum shows the list of forums we've created, they all show 0 posts, 0 new, and viewing the individual forum we tried to post to shows no entries.

Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks!

Problem with Category Module

Total noob to Drupal and Category. I have resisted using Drupal in the past because I cannot create heirarchies of content and control access to the individual sections. I was recently told I can do it if I use the Category module, so I am trying, please help.

I am trying to create a simple hierarchial with user based access control.

Basically I wanted to first layout the heirarchy
