I read all of this, it is still locked. If that can help, my first user entered her email wrong and couldn't log in because her initial email was sent the wrong address, so she could not log in. I went to the admin area and edited and corrected her email address, and she was able to log in. I also have a red round circle (do not enter) sign under General" and "Messages and emails".

Link to your forum please?

Now you need to tell me the exact problem, of how your forum is locked?

[atouchofprovence]

I can't create any new posts, in the bottom of the home page "New Posted" is highlighted in red and it says on the right "Forum is locked".

[Sanket]

Can you post some screenshots to better understand the issue.

[atouchofprovence]

Here's what I have in the bottom of my home page.
I can't post anything.
* New postsNew posts
* No new postsNo new posts
* Forum is lockedForum is locked

What you see is just a caption that tells you what each button (that appears next to your sections) means. Then, if you see the "Forum is locked" button next to a section, then the section is locked. Otherwise, it isn't locked.

> sanket : Note it down, since this question is a recurrent newbie question.

[Sanket]

Oh oh....lol

I have it on my record books now.

[atouchofprovence]

Why can't I post anything? The "New Post" at eh bottom of the screen is not responding and I can't click on it. It is in red, I guess that means it is not available, right?

[Sanket]

Click on any forum name & then you will find a new topic button.

That is just a legend, you cannot click anything over there.

[atouchofprovence]

Ok, I got it now. I wish it could be clearer. Anyway, now I am logged in into a forum and I want to post an event in the calendar, how can I do this?

[atouchofprovence]

I s this how you welcome new users? By putting them in your record book?

Oh oh....lol

I have it on my record books now.

[Sanket]

May I remind you that double/triple posting isn't tolerated unless separated by 24 hours (Use the edit button)

atouchofprovence, that was meant for Cornelia. The query which you asked is a basic query which did not click me. So Cornelia, helped me out.

Are you the admin? Even if a forum is locked, admins may still post.

I already answered above and my answer was right, this is a recurrent newbie question.

Oh, my bad Cornelia. Point noted
