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.
If you use the third-party Advanced Forum 2.x module then you must install a version that is later than 6.x-2.0-alpha4. See #1337412-11: Advanced Forum breaks Forum Access 6.x-1.7 for details.
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!
Updating from a version prior to 6.x-1.5: See the 1.5 release notes.
