I am new to DNN.

I have just successfully installed version 4.5.5 on my PC - XP SP2 with, .net framework 2.0, IIS 5.1

the installation process went very smothly and i am able to add and manipulate pages on my new DNN site.

the problem is that when i add a forum module i don't get the same action menu as i should get according to the documentation.

i only have "print | settings | delete | more" and am missing all other options as displayed on this tutorial:
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/guidedtour/HelpForumConfigure.htm
furthermore, the way the forum module looks on the design view is not as it looks on the demo.dotnetnuke.com

any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure I understand what you mean.

I am logged in as admin to the site and am trying to configure the forum module for the first time around. on the DNN guided tour page http://www.dotnetnuke.com/guidedtour/HelpForumConfigure.htm it says that i should see stuff like "configuration" and "manage forum" on the module actions menu (which i think is the little blue arrow at the top left corner of the module). instead all i have in this menu is "print", "settings", "delete" and "more".

mabye my installation was not as successful as i thought . thanks for any feedback,
