I've just installed and configured Drupal and it's going brilliantly (considering I've never tried anything like it before and have no programming skills!)
A couple of things I'd like to do but don't seem to be able to figure out - I've done a search but can't find anything here so thought I'd ask...
1) I have an open forum but I'd like a field that allows unregistered users to enter their name when posting (and one for an e-mail address too).
2) I'd like to have one of those filters where you have to "enter the letters shown in the above image" before you can post.
Is either/both of these possible? Am I missing something blatantly obvious?
Cheers.

Have a look through the
Have a look through the extra modules available for drupal (click on 'downloads' above). Although I'm not sure if there is the one you want there, I do know of a drupal site that has exactly that feature.
While you're looking through the modules you might find other features you like.

For 2) check out the captcha module: http://drupal.org/project/captcha
Sounds like you have a great opportunity to learn some new programming skillz ;-) Both would be really useful things!

Captcha
I came across captcha right after I'd posted this query! Unfortunately I can't get it to work. Captcha installs OK but the TextImage module just crashes the Module node in the menu (with TextImage installed, "module" becomes inaccessible, returns just a blank page).
Anyone have any ideas about how to include the "name" and "e-mail" fields for anonymous users?
Well blow me down...
... after all that I managed to get Captcha and TextImage working - no idea how, it suddenly all just worked out!
Anyways, the other problem turns out to not be quite be the one I thought it was. If an anonymous user is adding to an existing thread, the "name" and "e-mail" fields are there - but not when creating a new thread. So now my question is, is it possible to add them (and how)? Also, is it possible to remove the "categories" field from the "new thread" function - I only have one forum category so this isn't necessary and looks untidy.
If I can get these done, it's all ready to go!
Any help much appreciated, thanks.

I also would love this for general story posts - although I figure it would be the same module/patch as both node types are treated identically. right? (as you can see, i too am also new to this!)
love the community - thankxs
