Greetings, i run a forum for a cricket club, using the latest version of Snitz with an Access DB.

As the season is now over i would like to archive all the topics/posts from this season and shut the forum down till January.

Im aware of the archive function and what it does, what im unsure about though is if i shutdown the forum can it simply be re-activated at a later date or do you need to go through the setup process again?

Regards
A very happy Snitz user!

No, you can simply reopen.

However, shutting down the forums is only intended to be used for short periods of time as the application variable used to do so is reset whenever your server is restarted. To shut your forums down for an extended period of time, I would recommend creating a new page with your offline notice and editing inc_header.asp to redirect to this page.

An easier option, Shaggy, is to hardcode the value for the variable that controls the down state of the forum in config.asp.

Here is a post showing it: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=55818&SearchTerms=down,config.asp

Why would you want to shut it down? There will be loads of banter when we regain the Ashes again this winter!
