You can close only forum topic but not forum itself.

If you haven't learned, yet, how to edit a node, you really should start with some beginner docs in the handbook. This has nothing to do with AF and is extremely basic Drupal knowledge. I would be doing you a disservice by explaining it here; you need to take some time and do some learning of the basics or you will be extremely frustrated with Drupal.

Are you referring to change the content type.
Yes for sure I can edit it, but my question is whetger do I need to add a new field of checkbox or what should be the next step

No, edit the node. Set the comments to read only. Voila, closed topic.

You can edit comment settings on the forum topic content type, or on specific nodes.

As far as I know, you cannot set comment settings per forum (which is a taxonomy term which groups together a set of forum topic nodes), or at least not without extra code / modules.

You asked:

How to clos forum topic

and that is what I answered. That is completely different from closing an entire forum. Possibly Forum Access will let you do that but I don't know for sure.

Wow that is quite a thread. I think it would be a nice feature to be able to close a forum. Or disable adding new topics.

I am using the default view

Closing a forum would be access control so out of scope for AF.
