Can I create a “read only” forum?
I notice now that I can create a post then “close” it, but then it “grays out” the print.
is there a way the a forum can be read only, and/or close the thread so it looks normal and not grayed out?

Or just have the text in a “read only” forum be black!,.. can I change that on the style sheet?

thanks

You can set a forum as closed, that would effectively make it read only. check out Dashboard>>Forums

I know that. I am asking this:
yes, after I “close” it, the text “grays out”.

Is there a way the a forum can be read only, and/or close the thread so it looks normal and not grayed out?

Or just have the text in a “read only” forum be black!,.. can I change that on the style sheet?

The “read only”(closed) forum is virtually UNreadable .. Why? There is no reason, just because a forum is “closed” to have it totally grayed out .. and/or just give the option for “no-replies”.. it makes no sense for a “Forum” software to NOT have this basic feature.

You’d probably need to over-ride the CSS, I’m not aware of any settings that would affect this, might be worth looking at the bbPress styling plugins though I don’t recall them offering that particular feature.

thanks for answering .. the BBPress forum is a ghost town.
No one answers.
There must be a .css setting somewhere that changes the text color when the forum is closed.

When I close a forum in the forum settings, the topic colours remain the same as for open forums.
