    If there are some members, you may need to create a special group and place these members. Than in the admin panel, choose permissions and tick off this special group from posting in certain categories and/or forum.

    When I did this, the result was that all the members could not start new topics. To uncheck one group, I must also unchecks "members". So it seems, I have to add everyone to a group that can post, if I uncheck one group from "Can start new topics", those changes apply to all members who are not in a group.

    That is not clear. I would like it so that when someone registers, they can start new threads right away., it is just Mr.X who I want to stop from starting new topics. (Reply is okay.)

    Am I doing something wrong, or is this just not possible?
