to edit the forum module. I believe there is only one location where you need to change the word Forum to something else.

If you want to replace the term forum directly in Drupal's ui, you can use locale module, and change the terms in admin/locale, manage strings.

You could also change the URL from /forum to something like /bullitenboard using the alias module.

i cant find the string "Forums" or "forums" with the location module.

The Sentence "i dont want antother name instead of Forums" should mean " I want another name instead of Forums" :)

Any ideas where i have to rename the Forum?

In the forums display function you should see

/**
 * Format the forum body.
 *
 * @ingroup themeable
 */
function theme_forum_display($forums, $topics, $parents, $tid, $sortby, $forum_per_page) {
  global $user;
  // forum list, topics list, topic browser and 'add new topic' link

  $vocabulary = taxonomy_get_vocabulary(variable_get('forum_nav_vocabulary', ''));
  $title = $vocabulary->name;

Change the $title to another string like "community"

$title = 'community';

1. By changing the name of the vocabulary, you can change the title without a need to modify core.
2. This is a theme function and, as such, overrideable

This should really be a setting for the Forum. Changing the vocabulary name or overriding doesn't really allow for complicated titles without making the breadcrumbs and other links look strange. If I want to use "Hiveminds Community" for the title and still have "Forums" show in the links it stops being an easy thing. It also is not open to language differences.

I am making a change in my new forum module to allow titles to be seperate variable from the vocabulary terms used to create a forum. But In Extremo might want to make a feature issue on this.
