I want some members to be restricted from opening new topics in a category. But they should still be able to reply to topics that has openned within the same category.. I~m kinda confused on how to do this?

Create(copy from default is best to start with) in permissions a new profile (Admin->Members->Edit Profiles->New Profile), in that 'new profile permission' you can set/turn on checkboxes for Post new topics or Post replies to topics or even Any topic etc it is just what your preferences are, after that you can add that 'new permission profile' to the board within the category you want it to use.

This also depends on whether you want this to apply to specific members or specific membergroups.
