email verification link
I can't reply to a post because I supposedly didn't click on the email verification link I was sent at some time in the dark, distant past. What's up with this?
Those two topics seem to be closed as well. It's not just you. Everyone is locked out of them.
I think it's an automatic thing that happens at a certain point after the OP of the topic has chosen one of the replies as a Solution, with the topic being treated as sort of a support ticket. With the Solution chosen, the 'ticket' is closed. That's just a guess, but I think that's what's happening.
"Those two topics seem to be closed as well. It's not just you. Everyone is locked out of them."
Yeah; that's why the "reply" button is greyed out. They're closed, though not locked.
Does everybody also see that absurdly goofy error message I see at the bottom of closed but not locked messages?
Yes. I see it on all of the topics that are closed, but not locked, as well as those that are locked.
Looking through older topics with solutions chosen, I see that not all of them are closed, so I don't know whether it's an automatic thing and those still open didn't fit whatever criteria for automatic closure is necessary, or the reps end up manually closing topics with solutions after a while and the ones still open were just overlooked by them.
With all of this said, it does seem a bit odd that they don't just all show as locked. After all, if we can no longer post on a topic, that's what it essentially is... locked.
