Within Drupal, forums are actually organized using a taxonomy. When the Forum module is enabled, a new Forums vocabulary is created. This vocabulary can be edited in the usual way, as described in Chapter 3, by clicking on the Administer | Content management | Taxonomy link, or by navigating to admin/content/taxonomy.

By clicking on the edit link, you can adjust what content types are displayed within your forums.

This feature can be very useful in a site that manages a single class, or in a site where forums are the primary vehicle for organizing communication. However, if we use a combination of forums, blogs, and groups alongside each other, it can become confusing for site users.
