I have 3.4.3. I can't seem to find out where or how to close our forums. We've resorted to replacing "default.asp" and "profile.asp", etc. but people are still seeing things from search engines.

Thank you!

In the admin options there is a link to shut down the forums.

I figured that, but I don't see it. Our board does have some mods added, but I don't recall removing that feature.

Here's my admin page menu list:

Forum Feature Configuration:

Main Forum Configuration
Feature Configuration
Member Details Configuration
Ranking Configuration
Server Date/Time Configuration
Email Server Configuration
Font/Table Color Code Configuration
Bad Word Filter Configuration
UserName Filter Configuration
Category/Forum Order Configuration
Private Message Maintenance

Other Configuration Options and Features:

Members Pending (0)
Moderator Setup
E-mail List
Avatar Setup
Server Information
Forum Variables Information
Update Forum Counts
Archive Forum Topics
Group Categories Configuration
MOD Setup (Alternative MOD Setup)
Check Installation (Run after each upgrade !)

Where do you find it, so I can know for sure that it's not there as opposed to just overlooking it with my old eyes.

Seems like the link was removed. Just "visit" down.asp. There should also be "lock" icon at the top of default.asp, at the top right, first row, at the right of "Moderators".

Cool, I never noticed that icon before. I have always used the link in the admin options. Thanks

That did it ruirub (found my old user info). Thank you very much. I have no idea how that link got dropped.

"That button did what?"

The close forum feature is "volatile", since it's appavariable based and it tends to get its value lost. In order to ensure the forum stays down, I usually add this to the very end of config.asp, just before the closing '%>':


Application(strCookieURL & "down") = true
