Strange, as I have commentboxstyled '2006-08-25' together with forumstyled 2006-03-3 in my read only wikis and I cannot post forum entries (thus comments?) with EnableReadOnly set. But maybe I am forgetting something I've changed... > Also, at the bottom of every page I got this message (even when I was > just browsing the page): "PmWiki can't process your request Cannot > modify site - $EnableReadOnly is set." This might be coming from totalcounter or a similar recipe, which writes to wiki.d/ every time someone browses a page. > However, I'm glad you pointed out that setting to me.
