webchickWe could go extra militant here and disallow access to node/add/forum (without a forum specified) altogether. Then people would basically /have/ to use the "New topic" buttons. I'm not sure if it's worth going that crazy.

merlinofchaos commentedI wouldn't hide node/add/forum I would just turn the forum setting into #type => value if the forum is specified in the URL, or if it's an existing post and the editor isn't an administrator.

webchickSounds reasonable.

webchickOk, I used that patch as a basis and committed http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/drubb/drubb....
We are probably ultimately going to want to find a different permission to base this around than "administer nodes" but this should work for now.
