Topic: How 2 lock a thread ?

Hallo!

I have some questions 4 everybody. Do I have any chance to "lock" some thread?

I want to stop posting in a thread. Functions "closed" is something like I want, but with this function look of a thread is not same, thread become gray.

So, I want same look, like active thread, I want to allow reading of this thread to all users, but I want to restrict future posting in that thread.

Thanks!

Close is what you're after. A closed topic can be read, but not posted to. Only admins and mods can post in it.

If you want closed topics to look the same as ordinary topics. Open you stylesheet and find these two lines (the color setting may vary depending on which stylesheet you are using)

A:link.punclosed, A:visited.punclosed { color: #888888 }
A:hover.punclosed { color: #AAAAAA }

Now just comment out the lines so they look like this
/*A:link.punclosed, A:visited.punclosed { color: #888888 }*/
/*A:hover.punclosed { color: #AAAAAA }*/

Alternatively you could alter the color settings so they are same as the color settings for ordinary links.

All CSS files are in the /style directory.
