I've created a group of forums straight off the main page. however if i set the default access to guest they can't post but if i set it to student they can but every course appears in a list on the right is there a way of stopping the long list but still allowing logged in users the ability to post topics on the forums?

Not tried this but I suppose you could create a new role eg ForumPoster which has the normal guest rights + rights to post in a forum. Then make this the default guest role. Alternatively just adjust the the guest role. This supposes that you are using Moodle 1.7 or 1.8.
Just to add something to my last post. It looks like changing the role of guest (users/permissions/define roles) on the front page is favourite. Go down to Forums. You probably want "Reply to posts". Possible "Spam" issue though. I'm looking at a live site so I don't want to make any changes to check.
Thanks thats worked perfectly now if a user logs in they get forum permissions to add and reply to posts and if a guest views the site they are still low level read access to everything. Thanks mighty.grey.eagle!
