Threads "Locking" after approximately 1,000 posts and new Thread starting.

by The Lone Ranger October 24th 2012, 10:07 pm

Does anyone know if there is a rule for this to happen after so many posts? It is annoying when a perfectly good thread suddenly locks and a new one with the same name is created.
I have my posts per page set at 15. So, 67 pages x 15 posts = 1005 posts.
My "Posts for popular threshold" is set at maximum of 999. Has this anything to do with it?

Here is a non exhaustive list of the approximate limits of the forums. Please note that it is not possible to modify any of these limits.

Hi, as slg said, there are limits. In this case, you have hit a limit.

Don't worry, limits are perfectly normal. There is no way to disable them though.
