* Making the Plugins Discussion Forum more useful

For users to report plugin bugs and request plugin enhancements; and for authors to test new/new versions of plugins, and to discuss plugin development (in the Programming Technicalities sub-forum). If you want advice on choosing or using a plugin, please ask in General Usage or an appropriate sub-forum.

[*]The 'Plugin Discussions' Forum to be made read-only, with a description (and pinned post) advising what to post where instead. If somebody wants to resuscitate an old discussion, they should open a new topic in the appropriate place and link to the old topic for context.
Does the forum software allow you to set the permissions on a forum to stop users being able to start a new topic, but allow replies on existing topics?
No, the software doesn't allow that.
If so do that and then the whole topic could be moved to one of the new forums when it's "woken up" - that would keep all the discussion in one topic.
I'm trying to avoid making work for mods (although I suspect it wouldn't happen often).
