Would it be possible to add a new permission; "Can post reply to own topic"?

This would be for forums in which we want only the topic starters to able to reply and nobody else.

Hi VereK,

In Dashboard > Settings > Forum Access admin page, there is CAN's for this purpose "Can post reply", but this option is under development.  In future you'll be able to add/edit usergroups who will have oe will not have such permission.

Thanks Sofy, I know about that setting but it's not what I am looking for. I want to restrict the right of reply to only the topic starter in certain forums.

Hi @verek

I'm sorry but I see you don't know this setting very well. Please note, all forum specific permissions are set and controlled by Forum Accesses. What you want is also related to Forum accesses, you just need to see how it is. there is no other functions.So here is the description:

1. You should create a new Forum Access for example No Reply. The "Can post reply" permission should be disabled in this Forum Access.

2. Then edit the forum you're talking about. And set No Reply access to Registered Usergroup. By Default It's set Standard for Registered usergoup in other forums.

That's it. So, please remember, all forum specific permissions are set and controed via Forum Accesses. Once we fixed the "Can post reply" permission you'll be able to do that.

Forum Accesses are designed to be used differently for each Forum. please read the doc here:
