This may be a minor issue but I'm not sure whats causing it so I would really appreciate any help anyone can give me. I'm using OG Forum 6.x-2.x-dev with Organic Groups 6.x-1.3 and everything works normally with Organic Groups but when a regular authenticated user who is a member of a group tries to access the OG Forum they get an access denied error. I've looked at all the permissions for taxonomy, organic groups, and the roles but for the life of me I can't seem to get authenticated users who are a member of the group to be able to see the forum. Also whats weird about it is that on the administrator account it shows up perfectly fine. So I was wondering if there is something I'm doing wrong or if there is some way to correct this?

Also for a little background the way I have it set up is so that OG Forums are private so that only members can view the group forum.

Okay I have made some progress in the issue, it seems that being able to view the OG Forum can be accomplished by giving authenticated users "administer nodes" permission. This in itself is ridiculous because I certainly don't want regular users being able to administer all the nodes. As soon as this permission is revoked it reverts back to the access denied error. Also even with the administer nodes it still will not actually let a user post in the OG Forum only view it.

I solved this by getting ride of a conflicting module and downgrading to 6.x-1.4 version. But now for regular users that join a group their posts are not assigned a taxonomy and are orphaned.

i'm using OG forums as publics.
but the non-members of the group can't see the forum and get the access denied page. but on the active forum topics block they can see the topics, click them and comment them. that's ok.

but this block has a "more" link whick leads the user to the forum page. that is to the access denied page.

any help? can I hide this link for nonmembers? or how can I let everybody see the forum page?

I think I found the problem ans it looks very simple

The tag "forum" on the "home" view of the groups call a bad adress : www.site.com/node/1/forum
this adress is not recognize by user but only by admin.

If you call the good adress for the same forum www.site.com/forum/8, you got it !!!!

Is it possible to change this bad adress for the next release ?

Guys, from the home page of this project:

Note : OG Forum 2.x is only compatible with OG 2.x & OG Forum 1.x is only compatible with OG 1.x

Is this your problem?

I think this is a similar issue to http://drupal.org/node/549542

@Guillaume_Desp I have this bad alias problem too, but going to the correct location does not solve the access problem.
