OK. Maybe I've answered my own question. In the Forum Admin, under Setup > Admin Panel Settings I found this:
default_registered_permission
which has the option to change the access to "Read Access" instead of "Read/Reply/Post Access." So, if I'm an admin, and I change this setting to "Read Access", then the forum becomes read only for everyone, yes? And I will retain admin status, so I can still do stuff with full permissions? (My status is listed as "Administrator" while other users are "Registered."
If someone could confirm this is the way to go, that would be great.
Assuming this will handle my initial problem, then my final question would be how to modify the front page to indicate that the forum has moved to a new location? I suppose I can modify the forum title and indicate it there... but it would be cool to provide a link to the new forum.
Any advice on this?
Thanks again,
Mark
