How can i disable the whole forum from users to write new threads.

I would like to keep the forum running but without any writtings.

Just to read only .

What is the best way to do that please ?

In forum manager there is an option to not allow new posts- the forum will be 'locked' but viewable.

Thanks for the reply. Also please can you tell me this.

Can i for example block a user to write in the forum but he can still view it ?

I do not want to Ban him , but to stop him from wriiting.

Thnaks

More Specific:
In the Admin CP go to:
"Forums and Moderators" on the side...
"Forum Manager"
Select a forum click on "Go" next to Edit Forum
Scroll down to "Posting Options"
and change "Forum Open" from "yes" to "no."

To block a user from posting in a forum you would need to put him into a new usergroup... Then you can specify the permissions for that usergroup in "Forum Permissions" under "Forums and Moderators" in the Admin CP. You can let him view threads but not post.
