bug? no lock on topics

Don't know if this is already known:

I noticed the little lock doesn't appear on our topics if I close them by ticking a single post and then using the dropdown box at the lower left hand side of the Topic for moderating topics.

If I checkmark a Topic from the Forum menu (not from within the topic), then the Close Topic button from the dropdown menu does put the little lock on like it's supposed to.

The Closed Topic button doesn't appear to those groups that can post in closed topics. You'll just see the Add Reply button.

You won't see the Fast Reply box though, so if you have it enabled, that's a good way for staff to tell if it's locked or not.

Hi Quozzo,

I would like to try this, but I had a couple of questions. Is the purpose to show the lock icon to the admins? Does it go in "Below the Board"? And what is the sentence about that there should be a comma at the end of each line? I don't see any commas.

Thanks.

It should show the lock button to all users, basically, including the users who can post in locked topics. It more than likely goes in below the board, if it doesn't work there, move it around until it does work (there aren't that many boxes). And that line about the comma was in his signature, and did not apply directly to this code (but does apply to most), and you'll notice he's now removed it from his signature here.

Thanks GAK and Quozzo, that's what I'm looking for - that the lock will appear to everyone.

My mod just brings up a notification if a mod if replying to a closed topic. You didn't mention where the lock was so i thought you ment on the Add Reply button.

yes, I meant on the add/reply button. As the admin or moderator, I would like to see that the topic is locked, so I know I am seeing what the members are seeing. I don't know if that is possible if I still have posting rights.
