Thank you for the replies. Now that it has been pointed out, I do remember seeing these icons before but had forgotten about them.
 
I guess I should consider the latest version of the software. Is conversion from 8.01 to the latest release painful? Is there a data migration tool so as not to lose my current forum data?

In 8.01 when you login as the admin you get a little 'admin' icon next to the topic subjects on the Topic pages, and an 'admin' icon at the top right of the post pages.

Clicking this icon opens up a pop-up windows with various tools, such as changing the topic name, moving the topic to a new forum, etc. one of the options is to lock the topic.

However there are a few security concerns with 8.01 which is almost 2 years old now, and you should upgrade to the latest version ASAP to keep your forum  secure.

I'll be darned if I can see a link or an icon that reads "moderator tools" or anything of the like whether I login as a regular user, a moderator or even as the forum administrator. Can you give explicit instructions? What is the URL of the page, or the filename of the ASP page that contains this link?
 
I am using version 8.01 of the forum software.
 
Thanks again for any help.
 
Regards,
Michael Floyd

I must be overlooking something in the documentation or on the admin screens.
 
Could someone please tell me how to lock a topic or lock a thread?
 
Thanks in advance.
