Topic: Users can edit own posts in read-only archive forum

I moved topics to an archive and set that "archive" forum read-only for all (unchecked Post Topics and Post Replies). However, a quick test shows that the users can still edit their own posts.

Is this behaviour by design and how to change it so that no edits are allowed in read-only forums?

I believe it is by design. However, I think closing the [threads] would prevent editing. Alternatively, you could modify edit.php to have the desired behavior.

did you set it so that in the admin options users can not edit their own posts? Or did I miss the boat on the question completely smile

I believe Eugene only wants post editing disabled in his archive forum, not globally.

Looking for a certain modification for your forum? Please take a look here before posting.
