    Question Why can't I post to this thread? I'm logged in!

    I'm a forum "member" and I'm logged in yet when I view this post, http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/showt...highlight=slow, at the bottom right of the screen it says:

    ??? Why the heck can't I participate in that thread?

    Since Beta 2 is closed, replaced by RC1, there is not further need to post in the Beta2 threads.

    Ah, that makes sense. Thanks, for the feedback.

    Sugar team: It sure would be helpful to have a notice across closed threads, "This thread is closed. No new postings allowed."

    Hi all,

    It does say "this forum is closed for posting"... you can see this in action, for example, on this page:
    http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=127

    Look at the description of each forum, up at the top of the page.

    There should also be an icon with a little lock on the left side of the forum; I'll look into why that's not showing up. We're running a very old version of vBulletin so it may have been a bug that has been fixed in a newer version of the software.

    Thanks, Susie.

    That little notice was not, well, noticed by me because I did a search and then clicked on the thread I wanted to view, so the summary page with "(This forum is closed for posting)" was never displayed to me. And, even if that page was displayed, the notice is not particularly noticeable.

    To avoid confusion for us mere commoners, I'd suggest that if a forum is closed, a message be displayed across the top of each thread :-)

    Thanks again
