Description

When using the forums in group mode new posts currently have to be started individually for each group in order to maintain group participation rather than the whole-class involvement. The option for new discussion threads to be started that will automatically post that new discussion for each group would decrease some confusion. (The post/discussion would multiply itself so it is created for each group)

There needs to be a mechanism to duplicate a topic for each group when separate groups mode is on and the topic is created for "All participants". Currently it just says "You do not have permission to add a new discussion topic for all participants". This is not correct. Teachers DO have permission to create a topic for all participants....Moodle just doesn't want to do it for them. This should be fixed.
