Hello JamesJ98,

To close your forum for maintenance, please go to:

1. Administration Panel (advanced mode)
2. General Tab
3. Configuration (on the left, under Forum)
4. Select "Forum in construction : Yes"

This will close your forum for 24 hours and you must re-activate it again after 24 hours if you wish to close your forum for longer. You can also customise a message to be displayed to members by clicking on the Customize button. Very Happy

Regards,

Base

I don't know about that, but the current system only closes your forum for 24 hours. Smile

Yes, that's right. Upload an image that you want to be the new button in the navigation to an image hosting site such as Photobucket and then use the image URL. Smile
