[RESOLVED] Why are all these threads locked?

Now we just need to get the Stickies issue resolved

James seems fine to me. I am certain his idea of locking threads was well intentioned.

What matters is, he and the company of listened to our feedback and acted on it. Pretty quickly too.

We do occasionally get things right. Some times. Maybe.

James, I often pop in to website feedback for a bit of humour, this is provided mainly by the locked threads where a member has had a major strop about their clear rule breaking being pulled up by a mod.
It generally marks an amusing ranty thread.
Much prefer the resolved tag.

Looking for an example I found I'd missed this gem.

I think the Resolved marker is much more positive than locking the thread.

I'd actually come into the forum last week to report an issue, which was very similar to a previous issue (same problem, different page) but was unable to do so as the thread had been locked.

I agree. Resolved makes a lot of sense.

Please tell me you know it's not 'of listened'.

Of course. Given my regular complaints about 'would of / should of', it was intended as a bit of an in joke.
On reflection it failed in that regard because it doesn't read right, and nobody spotted it for weeks.

Thank God someone else finds that as annoying as I do.
