Maybe along with the deleting that changed about a month ago?
Did there used to be one? Are you on about the Combo box at the bottom of the page? Thats the only one I use but didn't know non-moderators could close threads :confused:.Quote:

I've been able to close threads in all the forums except Chit Chat via the admin options box at the bottom. Unless I'm a moderator and don't know about it I guess normal members can/could close threads.Quote:

Now the only forum that has that box is Chit Chat, where you have never been able to close threads.
The only reason I close mine is becuase I have had a couple of my threads hijacked in the past. :afrog:
So are you saying the combo box just isn't there for you, or when you select it it says your don't have permission?
I'd noticed I can lock and move threads in other forums but thats only if I am the thread starter, I didn't realise I had been able to close threads before I was a mod :confused:.
Ar so now I know the reason your asking, nope that thread must remain open :p.Quote:

Post #500 :bigyello:
I only get the "Do not have Permission" in Chit Chat where the Admin box is visible.
In all other forums - its just not there. Previously it was and it would let you open and close threads.
And THAT thread: I try to close it everyday, hopefully one day the forums defenses will be down and I'll succeed.
As long as its not "That Thread" then you could ask a mod with permission in that forum (Admins or Jamie) if there is reason for it ;).
Lets see if it will let me close this thread manually.
No - Its won't even let me do it manually. I guess they have disabled the option :cry:
You need to get a moderator to close threads for you.
Brad!
Speaking of closing threads; how long have all the forums been locked when you're not logged in?
I'd have thought always. Guests can't post ;)Quote:

I know they can't post. I asked how long the forums had been locked, they never used to have little padlocks on the icons.
Yeah, just recently I think.
I don't recall anything changing that would have impacted that....
hmmmm......
A miracle? :afrog:Quote:
