Additions to this Web site have been blocked

This issue relates to SharePoint 2007

You trying to add, features, document libraries , lists, sites. The SharePoint system prevents you from accessing it. And you get the follwoing error:
Additions to this Web site have been blocked. Please contact the administrator to resolve this problem. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequestInternalClass.CreateListFromFormPost(String bstrUrl, String& pbstrGuid, String& pbstrNextUrl) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequest.CreateListFromFormPost(String bstrUrl, String& pbstrGuid, String& pbstrNextUrl)
Resolutions:
Dont be silly. The error is because you have got site collection locks set on your site. Go to your central administration -> Application Management -> Site Collection Quotas and locks, and you'll probably find you have changed the setting to 'Adding Content Prevented'. (http:///_admin/sitequota.aspx). It should be set to 'Not locked
