I'm not sure what the status of a thread has to be for this to happen, but at some point "REPLY" is faded out. I don't think the thread I saw was poofed, but maybe it was. In that case, why is it still there? Am I missing something?

That only happens for the threads the mods "lock" to prevent further discussion, usually when the question has been answered or the thread is continually challenging the mods or the thread is becoming contentious. You can tell which won't allow replies before you even click on it if you notice a gray padlock looking icon next to the title.

Well, that is just plain stupidity to lock a thread if a question has been answered. Sometimes there are many different answers and discussions on one thing. No wonder it feels like kindergaryen here all the time.

Actually it isn't always that way but if they answer a question and yet people continually question the answer because they don't like it and it starts getting nasty they will lock it. So in that terms, when people simply can't respect the answer to the question and won't let it go, THAT is more like "kindergarten" and deserve to be locked. So when adults start acting like adults, not children, then maybe they wouldn't have to do that.

Agreed, at times, these boards have become very proficient at infantalizing their users, regardless of preaching to the contrary.

I had not noticed that. All I am really noticing is the difficulty I am having with the new system. I keep blaming my tablet, but I suspect it may not be the problem!
