How do I disable posting for all users? I did the below and everyone is still posting away. I want to put the forum into archive mode without having to go through all the individual forums and changing settings.

Uncheck:

Can post new threads?
Can post replies to threads
I made the mistake of not checking the forum permissions. Once someone reminded me to do that the problem disappeared Smile
So I do need to go through all the forum permissions? I have a bunch of forums, so I was hoping to avoid doing that in case I want to turn the forum back "on" in the future.
