MyBB Community Forums

Hello again.
I cannot create new threads in closed category, although I'm forum Administrator. I don't have even "post thread" button. If there is a topic in category, I cannot reply to it neither.

This is how does open forum look:

And that's closed:

Yes, I know that I can set it as open, and then modify permissions of groups, but I want to have a locked icon near it.

Is that even possible, or not?

so you have unchecked the "Forum is Open?" option from the forum's settings and then you cant post threads although being a admin... if thats the issue you are referring to, then its not a issue... thats how it works... have you read the description of that settings...

Quote:If unselected, users will not be able to post in this forum regardless of permissions.

Yes, I read it, but my friend had MyBB forum, and as moderator, I could write in these categories, whose had a padlock near them. That's why I'm asking, I was pretty sure, that I should be able to do that as admin, do anything I wish, like root in unix.
So it's impossible, right? Maybe it's possible to have opened forum, and have a padlock near category?
