I also got thread closed messages just a minute ago. on all 4 retries.

Saved the text I wanted to post, went back up, re-entered the thread and hit reply again. Now my respons was accepted.

So it's not a cookie issue.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Michael Tully -
Did you recall what time the "closed message" issue happened? This issue has been mentioned recently and we're looking for patterns or anything information that we can include to help investigate it. Also what browser are you using (including version)?

John, we monitor that section so the request will be noted.

Hi,Dan

I had have seen the same problem as Michael during all day long working time(KST 09:00-18:00)yesterday.
Whenever I tried to post messages,continously showed "thread closed".
it might be something wrong I guess.

Thanks for your support

Good day Dan,

When any HP Forum page is displayed we still read "Post a new topic using the 'new message' button" within the description of the Forum page. Would be better if it is replaced by "start new thread" button, specially for those who have newly joined the Forums.

Thanks your concern.

A minor issue / observation with thread closing.

A topic just went by in OpenVMS that opened, was answerred, confirmed and closed in less than an hour.

I could have easily been composing an alternative reply for 5 - 15 minutes, to see it 'blown away' by a locked topic. That would have pissed me off, and would have reduced my willingness to help.

The answer was correct. But given the problem statement I know I have valueable information to add from a slightly different perspective / line of thinking the author missed. I'd like the author, and future readers, to consider my alternative suggestions when thay have similar problems.
But the topic is now locked, and I can not reply.


It almost seems there needs to be a minimum time for a topic to remain open. 24 hours comes to mind to give everyone around the globe a change to read and add value in their timezones.

Not saying I want/need this to be fixed. Just an area to ponder.

Topic in question:

Antonio - The title has been changed.

Hi,

This thread needs to find a home in the Windows side of the house:

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=712307

Since many of the posts here in the Issues thread deal with posts like the one above that start out in the wrong forum, perhaps someone could consider adding a button that says something like, "Report This Thread to Moderators", which would open a small text window where one could write "Please move this thread" or "This thread is spam", etc., and then the contents of the window would get forwarded to the Moderators. Just an idea.

Dan either needs to start a new Issues thread, or else rename this one to September/October Issues.

You are reporting the issue to a moderator by placing the link here. There's a lot of us here monitoring and see the messages. If the process were changed we'd all be getting blasted with messages all the time. I would become quite grumpy.

The thread was moved.

[Steven E. Protter]

I think John's enhancement is a good idea. The button could trigger a message to moderators via email or something.

Some people actually don't post here because they don't want points this way. 0 for this post please.

Good idea. In an other discussion tool I use, "VAXnotes" there is a concept called "Hiding".
The author of a reply, and moderators can always see the text, and can toggle the 'hidden' button. It could also allow folks who have second thoughts about a reply go hide it maybe becuase they fatfingered something badly.
Using that you need no special interface for moderator attention notes and it is also an elegant alternative to outright deleting replies. (It allows for a think/discussion period, hiding while deciding).

fwiw,
Hein.

Thanks for the feedback! I've posted a new thread for October.
