Answer Window Not Appearing On A Certain Thread.

[anotheoldgit]

I have tried to contribute on a certain thread, but I am unable to because the answer window doesn't appear, is anyone else experiencing this problem?

[naomi24]

The thread has probably been closed. Someone else asked a similar question recently and that was the answer.

[Baldric]

Telling us which Thread would be kind of helpful

[bednobs]

if the answer box does not appear it's because the thread has been closed (usually because of fighting)

[AB Editor]

Hello,
If there is no answer box, that means the thread has been closed either by a moderator or by the editorial team.

Threads are closed for one of two reasons. Either they have been significantly derailed but we don't want to remove them completely because they have received some valuable replies. Or they are over a year old and are attracted a lot of spam posts - but again, have had useful replies previously that we don't want to get rid of.

Yes I noticed that, 3Ts. I've not known a thread to be closed beore either. Removed, yes, but not closed.

Having said that, the thread was becoming ridiculous.

It happens quite often and not just because of squabbling. Here's one in Crosswords

It is better than the whole thread being removed when people have answered.
