Locking/unlocking a topic
« on: May 06, 2016, 02:34:40 am »
Hi y'all,

I don't know where to put this question, so I ended up here.

I have an update on my latest topic but it is locked. "Desktop suddenly slow", last entry April 4.

How did it get locked and can it get unlocked?

I didn't put "solved" as it wasn't finished yet.

Thanks!

Lady

When it auto locks we as moderators can go to that thread and hit modify on the first post of that thread then UN tick the locked box and hit save changes. That's it 😎
