Forum is locked

[azwiz]

No I am not locked out of my Forum . But at the bottom of the main page . There are 3 links or prompts . The one on the right says " Forum is locked " .
I looked in the search and couldn't find this .

New posts No new posts Forum is locked .

I can't seem to find where to change this in the AP . What does it mean ? And should I unlock it ? And where do I do it ?

Thank you

Hello

Forum locked is just an icon similar to thread locked
If a category or a forum is locked only the admin can write
If you have set a category or a forum as locked you can edit it as unlocked
by going to admin panel ... general...Category modify the category you want
Status: unlocked
If you want to hide that option go admin panel... display.... pictures... icons for the forum ...
check the hide option

So you are saying that when I see that " Forum is locked at the bottom of the main page . That it only means that 1 forum ( or more ) is locked . Not that the website or page is locked .
