I'm working on setting up a community site with the forums module. I've installed Advanced Forum and Forum Access and everything is working great.

The one thing I need to do is restrict Topic Creation per forum. IOW, is there a way to restrict users' permissions on a per-forum basis to just reading and commenting on existing topics without being able to create new topics? I can see where this is set universally, but what I need is the ability to say that in some forums only the forum moderators can create new topics, but everyone in the forum can comment on them once they're created. In other forums, everyone will be able to create and/or comment on topics.

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious here, but I've been searching these forums and the web for a week and realy need some direction.

Thanks, in advance!

I've not tried it, but since 'forums' are taxonomy, maybe taxonomy_access or tac_lite can add this capability?

We just commissioned a Drupal module which provides single sign-on to the UBB.threads BB platform. We thought it far more productive to have developed a small bridge module and to combine all of the power of Drupal as a CMS platform with all of the power of UBB.threads as a BB platform, and totally avoid a "bazillion contrib modules all interacting together to try to make Drupal forums into what UBB.threads already is."

The mod developer we hired for the project is still waiting for approval to commit the code into the official version control, and to activate a project page. Feel free to reply if this is of interest and I will put you in touch with him before that all happens.
