forum_access 6.x-1.0

This is version 1.0 of Forum Access for Drupal 6.

It has been tested extensively by the community (>1600 installations according to the usage statistics) and we're confident that it works correctly.

Forum Access requires the ACL module.

Please note: The behavior of Forum Access has changed going from D5 to D6: The permissions which used to affect nodes only, but not comments (i.e. posting comments was possible for roles that weren't allowed to post forum topics), have now been extended to comments! IOW, roles without Create access cannot post comments/replies either.

Changes since RC1:
Enhancements:
- Improve information on how to avoid conflicts with Content Access.
- Improve wording of trouble-shooting text (string-only change).
Bugs fixed:
- Cast to VARCHAR rather than to CHAR for pgsql.

Note: The devel_node_access (DNA) module, which is part of the Devel module, provides an in-depth view into the inner workings of node access, especially if you enable its debug mode at admin/settings/devel#edit-devel-node-access-debug-mode and its second block. This is a big help for understanding the forces that control access to any given node.

Note the Drupal core issues listed on the Forum Access front page, which are outside the scope of Forum Access. Help resolve these issues to make Forum Access perform even better!
