You can NOT post a reply.
The topic is closed.

Wow that is so obnoxious I fell off of my chair and crawled back to my keyboard to type this.

I apologise if it is the forums default, I find it extremely offensive to me, I don't need to be SHOUTED at when I try to make a post accidentaly in a closed topic.

How about simple:

"Error: Topic Closed"
"Topic Closed"
"Sorry, your message could not be displayed because the topic has been closed "

and this is an abuse?

the idea isn't bad, but I don't think anyone is shouting to you just because there are some big letters word up in the message; plus, the message of "you can NOT post a reply" appears when you...try to post a reply . Wink

^ the problem is that the text of the post is lost ... it happened to me a couple of times, and I was quite angry too.

Of course we constantly strive to do better.

I myself quite enjoyed dealing with forum-related problems until about 1.45 am last night.


If I am about to close a thread, I normally try and type a warning post.Depends what else is going on at the time.

I dont feel people should be tolerant!! Im not doing anything crazy, come on!

Anyways, thanks for the help. I agree with Easy Livin on this one especially haha.

Hey but uhm back to seriousness...I DID make a HUGE post and that happened AFTER the post was made, not before.

It must be a glitch or something, and I hit POST REPLY and got that OBNOXIOUS HATEFUL response!!

Anyways no hard feeling I slept it all off, but thanks for the help! Love yo0u guys dearly! Smooches!

It can't happen very often can it? The reply box does not appear if a topic is already closed, so it must only happen if the topic is closed between when you started to respond and when you clicked post.

It would be great to have it that way! LOL Is it possible to implement it?

    That's the first I've heard of this. Although, I have never tried to post in a closed thread. Oddly enough, I just assumed that's what closed meant.
