Form is locked..nobody can reply

Hello,
Please could someone help me out!!
My forum says that it is locked (at the bottom of the page) my forum address is:

I have followed other peoples problems and how they have solved them...like:
Administrator Panel => Forum => Management => Click on the Forum You Wish to Modify => Change the "Forum Status" Bar to Unlocked => Hit "Save"
From which they do not work. I have also tried changing the forum settings/permissions...from which I have had no luck

Please could someone help me!!

Hello sac,

Is it the forum that's locked or the topic within the forum?

If it is just the topic that's locked, go into the topic and scroll down to the bottom. On the right side of the page should be 5-6 little buttons; these are used to control the topic (delete, move, lock/unlock, etc.) If the topic is indeed locked, one of those buttons should read 'Unlock this topic' when you put your mouse cursor over it. Once you click on it, the topic should become unlocked and the users will be able to participate within it.

Hi NOBLE CANADIAN,
When I go onto the website on the homepage at the very bottom, near where it says 'Administration Panel' it says 'Forum is locked'


I don't think that it is the topic as it says the forum is locked...

Hmm, I hope that you're not referring to the 'New posts', 'No new posts', and 'Forum is locked' that appear bottom center. These only act as a legend to help your users understand the meaning of the icons (these appear on all forums).

Did you try what I suggested? You need to go into any one of the topics that are giving you trouble in order for the buttons to appear.

I have gone into the topic that is not working and, clicked on the buttons where it says unlock and this solved it!!!

Thanks NOBLE CANADIAN

You're welcome. I'm glad that we were able to remedy the problem.
