Question Users able to post to locked Categories

OK, it's very hard to tell from the site inspection but I think I know what's going on here.

I logged into this site with a normal, non-privileged account and I was unable to post into any locked category. I tried, believe me, I tried and I couldn't do it.

I can't see the whole user list but, from the dozen or so messages that I saw posted on the site, every message was created by a forum moderator. Moderators can post messages into locked categories that they can moderate. I think that explains the mystery and I think we can now mark this case as "resolved". Agreed?

Agreed!

Thank you so much, that was the problem!

Here is a bit of background .....

When we originally set this up on version 1.4 (I think) there was no option to subscribe to Categories. We needed a way to inbox all members of a forum (Committee) every time a post was made and I decided that making all members of that Committee moderators was the only way to go. Since upgrading to 1.7 I have been able to change this logic and use the Category subscriptions to manage this but I know need to reset the Global moderator status to all members.

Thanks again heaps for your help in troubleshooting this.

Regards,
Adri
