UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums Resources and Customizing How Do I? How do I make my boards read-only?

Turns out there is a "Mass Permission copy" for the forums that does what I want.

I just selected one of my existing 'read-only' forums and used it as the template permissions to mass-copy to all the rest of the forums. Worked great, was easy and fast and didn't require any SQL black-magic.
