How to disable all posts
split:
My forum was created for one purpose, but members continue to use it for other purposes. So I would like to shut it down.
But I would like to make all the current posts available. How can I stop all future posts? Is it possible to display a message when a post is attempted?
Arantor:
Two choices.
Either go into each of the boards and set their 'permission profile' to read only, or remove the permissions of all groups to be able to post.
Orangine:
or delete all users and disable registration :D

When I select Admin --> Forum --> Boards, I see the board categories and there is a permission button for each. When I click the permissions, the path changes to
Admin --> Members --> Edit profile
Under "Advanced options" I can apply a "Apply pre-defined permission set" and one of those is maintenance. What will that do?
Arantor:
No... go into the board's configuration itself (the modify link) and in there is a dropdown to select the permission profile for that board, normally it is default, needs to be changed to read only.
