Does anyone know what this means when printed alongside a question? I have never noticed it before.
Anyway, I saw it and thought it meant that nothing could be added to that particular thread. This doesn't seem to be so.

I suspect that us mere mortals can't add to the thread but Ed and the more senior monks can!

This has just started since they closed CB. It just means no-one can add anything to it, but ED has been kind enough to leave it (or move it to CB) so that people can still read it

Hi foxy.fagin

As mycatis mentions, it means that no posts can be added to it. Primarily used in AB Suggestions after an "official" response has been made.

What I don't understand is the thread I read this on is still in AB Suggsteions and I've been able to answer it...
