requinix Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Due to the number of people attempting to reply to threads, despite the instructions at the top of the forum page that says not to, replies have been disabled. This may be revisited in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I thought it was perhaps an "Illiteracy filter" service offered by the site. Would you hire someone who can't read simple instructions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 My intention is to find a way to put a warning on the reply page itself, but I'm not sure there's a solution for IPB that (1) doesn't require buying a damn addon and (2) doesn't require hacking the page template (too much).

gizmola Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I'm fine with disabling replies. It fits our intentions perfectly. Only thing it doesn't allow is the poster to reply to the original post stating the opportunity is filled, but people rarely if ever have done that anyways. The constant flow of dummies who don't read the instructions and reply anyways is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 I'd be nice if there was a permission option specific to the thread creator. Replies from other people could be disabled but replies from the author could be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
