People are posting replies at the bottom of sub-forum pages instead of replying in the threads themselves.  How can I stop this?

Thanks!

Bart

what? sorry, not following... you can only create a new topic or reply to existing topic... so not sure what you are saying... please clarify...

I could be wrong but I think you need to change a Wordpress setting..

Log in as admin, go to main forum page, scroll to bottom and click on Edit

When page opens scroll to Discussion to verify that box to allow comments is NOT checked.

 You may have to verify this for sub forum pages..

Thanks neto, worth a try.. Would love to try and help although I'm also a bit puzzled by the original question..

Are you saying that new topics are being created instead of replies?

site members are able to post comments below the simple-press forum pages

I think Neto Is correct, with out seeing the forum itself, it sounds like wordpress comments are enabled on the forum page, go to pages, click on quick edit and make sure allow comments is not enabled

I don't see the word edit where you specified it should be.
