Just a thought, I saw a topic I was interested in, replied, but when I finally sent it off, it said the topic was closed.
Perhaps it''s a good idea (if possible) to remove the ''reply'' buttons from closed topics? That way the (stupid users don''t type in a whole reply before discovering that it''s useless.

The reply button normally is disabled. Either you were writing your reply while the topic was being closed, or you got to the page in one of a couple of known ways in which the button isn''t removed.

And what would these ways be?

Well, whether or not the button is displayed is determined by a parameter passed as part of the server request when you click on a link (I didn''t design this). There is more than one place you can find links to individual threads (the forum itself, the active topics list, the recent threads list on the main page, the bookmarks list, the forum stats page, and your own browser bookmarks). In a couple of those places (I can''t remember which) the parameter was inadvertantly omitted (something I''m going to fix).
In any case, whether or not the button appears, you still can''t actually post a reply to a closed thread.

Sounds right. I think I remember clicking on a link in a topic to get there, so that link might have been to blame.
In any case, it''s good to know it''s normally disabled!
Great forum!
