I'm building a forum that has all 50 states, but my problem is that I don't want anyone to post in those forums. I just want them to post in the subforums of the 50 statse. Is there a way that I can just have them click on one of the states and not accidently start a thread in the "state" forum, and just have it so they can just post in the subforums.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help

You can turn off thread creation in the parent forum of a subforum in the forum permissions without affecting anyones ability to post in subforums provided the permissions allow the creation of threads in each subforum...

Thanks, Chris! I'll check it out

UPDATE: I did what you said and I also changed the "Act as Forum" to the no option for the forums I wanted to act as a category and it looks great

Thanks again

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
