Description
Hi,
I'm using Taxonomy Access Control to give super privileges to members of the society my site is for.
One forum is for event announcements.
I would like it so that only Society members can create threads in this forum, (so non members can't get free publicity) but they can post replies (e.g. questions about the event).
I don't know if I have forum access installed (using drupal 5.2) - I don't think so but I already have control over who can see and post to each forum. It's this posting privilege that I need access to at this higher grained level.
Can I do this with the forum control module? Or can you think of any other way that I could control this?
Many thanks,
Gareth Wilden.

To tell whether you have Forum Access installed, look at admin/build/modules.
FA lets you give Create (forum topic) access to selected roles, and at present, it is unable to restrict posting of comments, which is exactly what you want.
The FA user interface is the "Access control" fieldset on the admin/content/forum/edit/forum/TID pages.

Drupal 6.2 has the ability to control who can post, etc in a forum.
I'd suggest you upgrade.
