MyBB Community Forums

I want to close down my forum, but keep everything as a reference. How can I block people from registering and logging in?

Hi,
You can turn your board Offline, so only Administrators can view it. Go into your AdminCP, and find the "Board Online / Offline" setting inside the "Change" link.

Cheers!

Actually I need to keep it as a public reference. Basically so that people can retrieve their pictures and messages.

Stop New Users Registering
Go to the ACP -> Board Settings -> Change -> User Registration and Profile Options -> Disable Registrations -> Yes

Stop New Posts
Go to the ACP -> Forum Management -> Manage Forums -> {Insert Forum Name} -> Permissions:
Disable posting rights
Keep read rights

Thanks

It would be easier to just edit the usergroup for registered users and disable the posting permissions.
