My feed back is that when you install the latest version of AF from codeplex, when a user tries to post they get this error:

I think you guys need just give a clear piece of advice in terms of how to get this up and running because this is proving to be a great big hassle for someone wanting to get onto 6.2 and include a forum in their site. A forum is something I need absolutely urgently - to the point that I'm probably going to have to resort to some PHP solution if a 6.2 compatible forum emerges.
You do some amazing things over at dnn corp - but PR isn't one of them.
I feel you pain. I'm in a similar boat. I upgraded to 6.2 immediately primarily to get Active forums / Active Social. Its taken a lot of research timealready to find the status of the forums in 6.2. Its not exactly posted clearly on the site, you have to dig just to get to a thread like this.
I went ahead and got started with the core DNN forum module for now as recommended. but its interesting that for a "core" module it was not in the 6.2 install. Had to go get it and add it to 6.2.
It's working but I'm having a permissions problem when I create a new forum group. Most of the permissions Grid is disabled and I can't seem to apply permissions at the forum group level. I'm guessing maybe directory level permissions, don't know yet. Point is, just getting forums going in 6.2 has turned into a real time-burner.
On the + side, the new social features, groups, journal etc. look promising so far. When it's all up and running with the forums it should be good, whenever that is.
