Post installation

I searched and couldn't find the answer to this anywhere. Is there a way with Drupal 4.4.1 that I can create forum categories(Vocabularies) that can't be posted in? For example this site has forum categories like Post Installation Questions with forums underneath it. I would like to do the same thing.

Thanks for any tips.

Sorry for the lame question, but here goes:

I have my own site (currently php-nuke, but converting over to Drupal, at http://www.warrenernst.com/). I post my thoughts on all sorts of things, and notices for my clients. I am the only contributer on my site. I like for my entries to appear on the home page, and then move down the page as they age.

All,

OK, I're tried both FileStore and FileStore2, and I can make both of them work great for manually uploading files to a site. I can assign a Vocabulary (like "Downloads") to the node type "upload file" and make a "Downloads" section, complete with Terms under "Downloads" to make sections or categories of downloads.

As of now, the Vocabulary "Download" is set to "Required" for "upload file" nodes.

Now here is the problem:

Installation went reasonably well, but there are some items missing from the standard user menu (e.g. news aggregator). This is only true of new accounts - my admin account has everything listed.

According to the help file, only sections chosen by the users to appear will be listed under 'Navigation'; the problem is that when someone logs in to 'My Account - Edit Account' there is no area to check off visible blocks.

hi all

i have recently installed Drupal, and it works great:)

i have been workign on it, adding modules and so on to get it to how i want it, but something strange happened just now. I had installed the menu module, and was in the Blocks page, and i must have clicked something by accident, becuase now the admin/configuration menu has dissappeared from the left bar. I can't change my site ot anything now:(

any ideas ( if i knew the path for the configuration/block menu, i might be able too fix it?)

thanks in advance

I am helping a friend setup her site on some space she got with 1and1.com webhost and I have hit on some serious bug. She'd like to restrict her site to friends and family and away from her employers (current and future). I sold her on Drupal's security and showed her some sample sites. When setting up non-anonymous elements for her we kept bumping into a 500 server error. This is problematic, cause if a non-logged in user comes to her site she or he'll get a 500 error instead of a request to sign in. For the love of me, I can't recreate this in any other webhost, like Lunarpages, iPowerWeb, EV1 Servers, where I have setup Drupals for my friends. The only other Drupal user who hosts on 1and1.com I can find here is Duztin, and he has had the same error.
