Permission settings help please

Post by Stace.ihs »

I know this is so simple, but I don't understand. Thank you for any help.

I want to use my board like a library, read only.
But I, admin, want to be able to post new information.

I want this set up for all the categories/forums I create.

How do I do this? I am really slow in this, please show me step by step.
Thank you so much..

My 2 cents: Whether an extension is in the CDB says nothing about its quality. It is more important to read the support topics for it. Better to avoid authors who do not answer support questions themselves, who do not update their stuff, and who do not fix bugs for years.
