FORUM UNDER CONSTRUCTION / ON HOLIDAY / LOCK THE FORUM Empty FORUM UNDER CONSTRUCTION / ON HOLIDAY / LOCK THE FORUM

I tried to lock the forum so noone could log on while I did some maintenance. I went to the admin panel and checked the forum on holiday and under construction buttons.

Now at the log in page, there is a message saying can't log on because of the above but you can still log on and post - even members.

How do I lock the whole forum while I do some maintenance? I don't want anyone except the administrators to have access.

Thanks

Just put it in construction mode. It will SHOW the login page but, only admins will be able to login.

Thanks guys - didn't know about the 24 hr thing.

Is there any way to close the forum down temporarily for longer than 24 hrs?

Thanks
