Title: Locking the competition result thread
Post by: SamLouise on January 19, 2009, 20:51:32

Any chance it can be left unlocked once a winner has been confirmed?  It would be so much nicer/better to congratulate the winner against their picture instead of having to go elsewhere.

I just went to congratulate Carol only to find it's been locked.  I don't really see the point in starting a whole new 'congratulations' thread when there's already a relevant thread open?

Thanks Sam.  Lot of great pictures again this week so congrats to everyone else as well, I wish I could capture a spiders web with ice and I thought the Trees all looked good hanging with frost.

 :) :)

I think you might have caught the thread during change-over, Sam.
 For the reason you mentioned, ie; keeping comments and pic's together, I change the title from 'Vote Now' to 'Winner', but during the change I need to lock the thread.
 So far as I can tell, I took the lock off after the change and there's no 'lock' symbol showing on the thread intro.
 I've managed to post into it but Mod status will over-ride the lock.
 Could you (or someone) test a post in there please.
 Thanks, Ken.
