| I'm trying to close a subject thread on one of my forums. I tried editing the table for the subject, and found a 'closed' field. Out of sheer guess, I entered '1' into the field and saved the changes.
I went back to the subject thread, and next to the 'reply to subject' link was in black letters '(closed)'. So it seemed to have worked. But then I tried replying to it. Suffice it to say, it let me reply to it as if it wasn't closed at all.
Is there a way of setting it to 'closed' while having it do more than just put '(closed)' next to the reply link? Eg how would I get it to actually disallow new posts to the subject, or has something like that not been added in yet?

| | At a guess I'd say it's because you're the forum administrator and that allows you to override the closed setting. I've seen a few other forums who's software will let you do that. But Nick will obviously be able to answer best :) | | Top |

| Samson is right, most of the restrictions in system can be overridden by the administrators and to a certain extent, section moderators.
You are best off setting up a "test" user who is not an administrator to test this sort of thing. |
