I am not exactly sure what a locked topic is or does . Does it mean that no one else can see it ? Or just that no one can post or reply in it ? Is there a way to hide a topic ? I being admin am not clear on what a member see's or able to do with these labels . Can someone clear this up for me please ?

Hello Azwiz,

A locked topic means a topic that can no longer be replied to by any member except for moderators and Administrators (who can post in locked topics regardless).

I hope this answers your question azwiz?

A locked topic means that it is locked to new replies.  The founder (administrators) and moderating staff can reply to locked topics.
