@ Preds I have no idea what locking the thread means....do they not just remove them anymore?

@Jannabelle I'm not Preds but the Mods do both, depending upon what the problem is. They lock a thread when it's still OK for people to see stuff on the thread but Mods want to end any more discussion there, usually because it's getting out of control angry or fighting and such. They'll delete a thread when they don't want people seeing its content, such as it is political in nature (forbidden here) or it's inappropriate for some other reason or it posts links to sites, etc. So threads can either be deleted totally or moved to another forum or locked. Locked, again, means the mods think it's OK for people to see the discussion thus far but they want to end the discussion because people are fighting too much or getting too much off topic or violating the board rules in some other way.

You can't reply any more on a locked thread but you can still heart posts on it.

Hi, @Jannabelle! Clearly I'm not @Preds, but I can answer this since I'm up late tonight. On the new platform the moderators either choose to completely remove a thread (and they usually leave the topic line, but all posts are gone) and it will say "moved" because they actually move it to a separate section of the forum only they can access, or they close the thread for commenting. No idea how they make that decision.

hth!

Thanks, @Pearlee! Yep, I'm in the eastern time zone, too... and we never see our Preds here at this time of night. She gets up with the roosters. Or maybe before the roosters! Sweet dreams.

@Jannabelle, To "heart" a post, just click on the red heart in the lower right corner of the post. That will create an entry in the person's "Notifications" feed (upper right corner of the page after we sign in).

You're welcome! I'm still learning!

My understanding is that they move them either to take time to edit out some posts (and then they reopen the thread) or they have them in their "archives" in case someone disputes the removal of a post or a thread. So, posts aren't really gone, they're just archived.

You're welcome, @Jannabelle! I think you'll like a lot of the changes after you play around with the different settings and features, and also after you spend more time here (we all want you to spend more time here!). Sweet dreams!

@dooBdoo HEY! Go back and look at Jannabelle's post! She asked Pearley how to heart posts! You needed to preface your response to her telling by saying "I'm not Pearley but..." and then tell her how to heart the posts. ROTFLMAO!

Happy Friday, dooBdoo!

@bri20 Why? If it was at my post it was a joke, as I thought I indicated well enough.
