hi, i'm now using phpbb3, and i just convert the user only to the new forum, so i want to make the old forum that using phpbb2 read only. So members can only read post, but do anything on the old phpbb2 (reply, new topic, sent private message, etc)
Just go into the ACP on your phpBB2 board, and edit each of the forum permissions so only admin can "post", "reply", or "edit". You will need to click the "Advanced" link on each permission screen.
