Bug or feature (accessing locked threads).

Just noticed that as an admin, I can post to locked threads in V3 (but not in V2). Feels more like a feature than a bug.

On the other hand, if this is a feature, then I should be also able to edit my posts in the locked threads in groups where I am an admin, but V3 does not let me do this.

However, there is an 'Edit' link in V2 on such posts; that link does not do anything useful in V2, but copying and pasting it into V3 allows me to edit these posts. Might be a good idea to make it into a feature (assuming that the ability to post in locked threads is intentionally given to admins).

Have you checked if it is just admin that can post to locked threads. I only ask because earlier today I posted a comment to you new forum in CF and after it posted I looked closer and it looked like it was locked. I thought maybe because of my site tools but maybe it is a bug and everybody can post to locked threads. If that's the case then it may have to be reported ?? Thanks LPS happy.png

I cannot post to locked threads where I am not an admin.  I suppose that moderators can post anywhere.

Well that's good to know if it is just admins then I expect it was done that way for a reason happy.png

Nevertheless, perhaps some clear indication of posting to a locked thread should be present. I submitted this request via the normal channels:
