Description

When I go to the forums on Moodle .org and try to subscribe to individual forums in the Lang teaching discussion I get the message that guests cannot subscribe even though I am logged in (it says right underneath that I am!!) I'm assuming this is an issue with the new roles & permission in 1.7.

Here's how to recreate the problem.... log in to moodle.org, then go to: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/index.php?id=31 , then click on one of the 'no's in the subscribed column, then you get a message to say guests can't subscribe. You can however subscribe to the whole forum using the link in top right (and then unselect the discussions you don't want to be subscribed to - but that's quite long winded)

This happened because you were not enroled into the course. I've checked in a fix for this for 1.7.1+ and HEAD. moodle.org will get the fix the next time Martin D updates.
