Post installation

I've tried to install a forum like the one on http://drupal.org/ but it won't work. I've enabled the forum module, but I can't make it work. When I look on the hyperlink this page it links to "http://drupal.org/forum". When I install the forum module it links to "drupal/?q=forum". How do I setup a forum like this one.

What is the difference between a page node and a story node? On the surface, they don't appear to have different features. Am I missing something and they are different in a way I don't see?

Is it in the usage? A page is more of a static element and a story is more temporary? Or does it have to do with hierarchy?

Any clarification would be much appreciated, thank you.

Ok, i really posting alot of stuff here. I'm having trouble with a search being put on my site. I'm just gonna use the one that comes with drupal but it never appears, and it's enabled and configured right. I'm using the chameleon/marvin theme. A friend of mine is using the marvin 2k theme and his search appears, but as soon as he changes the theme to chameleon, it disappears on his site. I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and what they did to fix it. Thanx! I really appreciate all the help you guys are giving!

Is there a way without hacking themes to generate a list of nodes (by taxonomy) similar in format to the way tracker lists entires (date/author/title)? I am thinking along the lines of a classifieds listing Compact list by date, no descriptions). Help?

Hi,

I have setup Drupal for my site and all is working OK, except for when I want to upload avatars, I am getting permission/does not exist errors. I have made sure that both the files and avatars directory exist under my sites root directory and that they are chown'ed to 777 but I am still getting messages from the configuration page that the directory is non-writable or does not exist.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know that Drupal has a built in block which shows the last updated blogs. But is there anyway to create a seperate block to show a list of blog authors?
