UNLOCK issu's

Hi 

New to making a forum and i have just made one few min's go 2nd time around, and noticed that at the bottom says LOCKED, how do i unlock the forum for people to post on?   thankyou

Hi

Actually, that's just an indication if a forum is locked or not; however, when you're creating a forum, go to ACP < Generals < Categories and Forums < Click on this icon:   < Presets < < Set it as unlocked < Save

followed 1st 2nd part but still can not  find how ti unlock it 

Hi

Do you mean changing the icon? Well technically, ACP < Display < Pictures Management < I think it's buttons, just explore < Post the link < Save

Are you referring to this:

New Post, Old Post, and Locked ?

That refers to a forum/section on your forum is locked.  Your whole forum is not locked.

P.S. If you want someone to post in a section, you have to check the correct boxes under the correct permissions.
