How exactly do onlock and offlock pics work? · **Released**: 02-16-2003

Hey, for some reason when I go to my forums as a guest, ALL of my forums are showing the "offlock" pic, even though some are enabled for guest viewing. Why is this? Is there a certain way I have to set up the permissions so it shows the "onlock" for forums that the guests can view? Thanks in advance.

In your control panel, you can tell it not to show the lock icon for forums where people can't post.

Hmmm, where exactly is that? I don't see it anywhere...

Show Locked forums?
Do you wish to have the new post indicators shown on the index page (on.gif and off.gif) be shown with locks to guests & other members who have no access to post?
Yes No

I have this to "Yes" and still no luck...

If there are no new posts in the forum does it only show offlock?

DOPE! That was it. There weren't any new posts, lol. My bad.

Sorry, I read your question wrong. I thought you wanted the locks off.
