Is LOCKED forum fully locked?

Post by stefanmaine »

I have a forum at version 3.3.5

The members of this forum are now in their eighties-plus, and are agreed not to keep it active. They have also agreed there may be some stuff worth reading, and so it should be left in place. But we don't want new people trying to create usernames, login, etc.

So I have LOCKED each of the topics (sub-forums) on the forum.

IF LOCKED stops anyone from trying to become a new member, log in, etc then we can leave it as is ... and ignore the rest of this post.

If not, then on the home page (I believe it is index_body.html)) I would like to remove the lines:

"LOGIN, USERNAME ... PASSWORD ... I forgot my password ..."

and "Our Newest member ..."

... preferably with COMMENT (like <!--) so I can easily restore it if necessary.

I want to leave the "Login" option at the top right of the page (under Search) so I can access the ACP if necessary.

Thank you.

The only thing you have to do is going to ACP => General => User registration settings => Account activation: => set it to "disable registration."
Sorry! My English is bat ;) !!!

Disabling user registration is what you're looking for.
