B6, fixed a few bugs I was having...
I'm going to try to get the pathauto module going...
Might give Forums another try...so far forums has not been working very well.

Update: Got the pathauto module working. It's pretty cool and powerful. So powerful (i.e. will create many aliases potentially thousands....), my question here, would be about clean up. In other words, what if the target of a URL_alias gets removed...does this module or some other clean up function remove dead URL_aliases ?

I also fixed the forum issues I was having see:
Fixed my Forums....

However looking at the bug list for "forum module", I will wait for Drupal RC1 or Beta7....before full building the "containers/forums"....
