Post installation

Hi

This is about using drupal.org specifically. A few things are confusing me, I would love some help.

1. Does searching allow "word strings", and boolean?

2. Is there an advanced search page where I can specify the forum I want to search, as well as above.

3. How do I change comment order to chronological?

4. How to I subscribe to a thread without posting, unsubscribe to a thread, and subscribe to a forum.

I'm fairly new to this drupal...but I was just curious as to what modules per say I would need for a community type site like myspace....when a person can create a user account upload a picture...leave a comment...edit and add text on there profile...

Thank you

Which Marvin theme is best at the moment?

I would like to offer a mission statement as Marvin2K is supposed to do (see http://drupal.org/project/marvin_2k) but it only appears to be in CVS and that was back in Nov 03. It makes no mention of version compatability.

I have installed MarvinClassic from the themes pages (http://drupal.org/project/marvinclassic) and it works fine but no sign of a mission statement.

I am looking for a filter that will allow me to perform a search and replace operation on all text prior to displaying said text. I do not want to modify the content of the text, just add some html markup to it prior to display. I do want to be able to specify the search text and the replace text.

Example: I want all instances of "theking" to be sent to the browser as "<b>the</b><em>king</em>"

Using PHPTemplate with Drupal 4.6.5:
What is the code that would pull the Vocabulary name that a node is a member of and display it outside of the node content?
I'm trying to get this to display as part of a 'Main Title' section within the page.tpl.php file.
I feel that this might be within the $taxonomy variable for node.tpl.php but being fresh to php and Drupal I am unsure how to access this info. Something like
<?php print (node->$taxonomy()) ?>

Has anyone integrated Nochex payment method into the ecommerce module? Only found one entry about that and nothing in cvs.

Thanks
Bernard
