Is there a way to restrict forum users from creating new topics in a particular forum, but still allow them to reply to any current topics in that forum?

Thanks!
Scott

In forum.asp change line about 691. Add the red and change the green to the forum number you want to restrict. This will still allow Admins and Moderators of that Forum to post new topics.


sub PostNewTopic() 
	if Cat_Status = 0 or Forum_Status = 0 or Forum_ID = 58 then 
		if (AdminAllowed = 1) then
			Response.Write	"          <a href=""post.asp?method=Topic&FORUM_ID=" & Forum_ID & """>" & getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderLocked,"Category Locked","align=""absmiddle""") & "</a> <a href=""post.asp?method=Topic&FORUM_ID=" & Forum_ID & """>New Topic</a><br />" & vbNewLine
		else
		Response.Write	"          " & getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderLocked,"Category Locked","align=""absmiddle""") & " Category Locked<br />" & vbNewLine
		end if
	else

and post_info.asp about line 251


if (blnCStatus = 0) and (AdminAllowed = 0) then
				Go_Result "You have attempted to post a New Topic to a Locked Category", 0
			end if
			if ((blnFStatus = 0) or (Forum_ID = 58)) and (AdminAllowed = 0) then
				Go_Result "You have attempted to post a New Topic to a Locked Forum", 0
			end if
		case "EditTopic"
