Is it not possible for moderators to reply to locked topics?

I thought would be able to do this, but it looks like this isn't possible and without promoting them to admins. If I am right, then I'm going to make a suggestion that Mods should have the rights to respond to locked topics/threads.

I just check it on my test forum and yes it is possible for moderators to reply to locked topics - in the forums they moderate.

Hi Daijiro, can you explain more and how this is possible? I have my mods set to moderate all forums and with full access to those forums. I have a test account I use to test things and my test account set to be a mod was unable to reply to a locked topic.

Did you click on the "Locked" button because the "post reply" button is replaced by the locked one?

Yes...when going into a locked topic you only see the option for "New Topic" in that forum or the "locked" icon. I clicked the "locked" icon as my test moderator account and it told me I didn't have access to respond.

I'm not sure why it's doing that. Try logging out, clearing your cookies and cache, reset your browser and try it again.

thanks Daijiro...I will try this. Don't get yourself banned from here! I see you're running low on your warning level!

If anyone can think of anything else I might be doing wrong, please speak up....Oftentimes I overlook simple things.
