To take down a forum completely, but just for a week...

kennethm,

you do not seem to be fully reading what we type.

Setting maintenance mode from the admin panel sets it to condition 1. mostly there, but disabled.

You can open settings.php and change the maintenance mode to "2". This completely disables the forum

youre right, i was speed reading while at work 

i will open the settings.php and change that to a "2"

thanks for all the help
