I´ve thinkering with drupal quite a while and have build a few sites with it . I believe it is a very powerfull tool and has great advantages over other CMS products once you get the hang of it.

This being said I am now implementing a forum into a site. While I don´t have much against using the standard out of the box forum I would like to make a change to it. When posting a comment in an existing thread/newspost you are not obliged to enter a subject, however if you do not enter one, the full text you enter in your post is set as subject of the post as well. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Example:
Entered post:
wgdjhsthfkghclkkh
g
gjkkckj

Subject:
wgdjhsthfkghclkkh g gjkkckj

And how can I modify the appearance of the forum to something I like (placing buttons somewhere else,...)?

Secondly, when entering a comment in the forums you need to preview first before you can post your message. Is there a way to submit messages at once, in stead of having to use preview first?

A third thing is to have permissions for pages where you can specify who or which group has access to it. Is threre a module for this? Also, is it possible to adjust page permission for forums (who can view, post,...)?

This behaviour is very annoying, I wish there would at least be a option to disable it.

Usability dead forum post pruning

@stax, the original poster seems to have put 3 ideas into one thread nearly 1 yr ago. so i am not sure if any should be added to the issues queue for usability; or specifically for the forum issues queue? you may wish to add an issue for one of those 3 ideas.

1) This forum is no longer actively used. As tempting as it may be, please do not post in this forum or reply to this post, it will help us to keep the usability issues clear. Thank you for your help!
2) This is a feature or support request or other not related to Drupal usability.

Please see the appropriate issue queue http://drupal.org/project/issues or group on http://groups.drupal.org

If this had been a suggestion for Drupal usability improvements, I would have added the issue to the queue and posted the link here.
