I need to know how to set up base category for forum without it becoming a postable thread. Like the Search Engine thing boxed in just before the first set of postable threads. Example for postable thread on this forum "Google".
When creating a new forum there is a box that says "act as forum" under the "posting options" header. Set that to no and it will be come a category. Mark
Act as Forum = No (Will act as category if no) Forum is Active = Yes (Will not appear if set to no, but remains accessible if the forum's URL is known) Forum is Open = No (Set this to 'No' to prevent any new posts being made in this forum) Index New Posts in Search Engine = Yes (Setting this to 'No' will prevent anyone from being able to search in this forum)
