Hey guys, a lot of you may know about the glitch that allows you to post in locked threads by using the post reply button.  It hasn't been a real issue so far, but to avoid bugs like the white forums of death (veteran users know all about this) I stress about not posting in topics after a moderator has locked them.  If you post in a locked topic with 1000+ posts, you will get a warning your first time and a moderation with increasing point loss every other time you break the rule. If you want to know which thread is locked and isn't , you can check the forum thread links.  If the link has a red box with round edges, the topic is locked.  Heck, if your in a topic and you don't know if its locked or not, just scroll down to the bottom of the page.  If a Quick Reply box is there, then go ahead and do your thing Smile.  Having threads with a huge number of posts has proven to be a problem on this website, so lets try to keep NoobFeed free from more bugs Smile

I've been sending PMs to users who did that by mistake. Now this rule will clear everything out. I think you can add those forum icons which will make it easy to understand for all Smile Thanks for the rule

This probably should go into the bug reporting board since it's really that but since it's directly related to this issue I will put it here instead. This thread (link) over at the Welcome Newbies board is locked but from the main forum view shows the "Popular" Icon instead of the closed one, although when you go into the thread it's obvious that it is closed since it doesn't have the Quick Reply box at the bottom of the page and also under the posts it just has "Options" and doesn't have "Quote" or "Reply" just thought I'd mention it. If you'd like a screen shot I can provide that as well, and I'm using FireFox 3.6

The bug has been fixed. So unauthorized users can't post in the locked topics anymore.

I'll still add it to the combined rule thread when I get to working on it though in case it stops working right the rule still applies.
