Changes to user accounts

In an attempt to keep things tidy and clean I have taken two courses of action:

1. Users are split into three groups; administrators, authenticated, control users;
2. A forum for more diverse topics.

The standard user account is able to post comments, but not able to write their own page or story content. Control user accounts are allocated to club officials who can post and maintain their own content.

All users are able to post topics and follow-ups to the forum. I don't actually use forums (short of googling / trauling support forums for techy stuff) so its all new to me... kind of feeling my way in the dark, advice greatfully received. I have set up the mechanism, and am waiting to see how the structure I have set up copes with things. With this section here, I can also keep you up to date with any changes / ramblings without cluttering up the home site.

The goal behind this is to keep the main site as initially landed on by the public as clutter free and calendar specific as we can... I think thats the way to go.

So - questions, comments, banter - over to you.
