Hi Algardas,
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me.
The setting indeed stopped me from editing but I was still able to post
a comment with commentboxplus.
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."
However, I'm glad you pointed out that setting to me. It might come in
handy later.
Best,
Randy
