Locking thread but unlocking them for "special members"

[XXXconanXXX]

I noticed I Was allowed to lock my own threads, which is good, but the problem is I'm not able to go back in there and unlock it again. I've got a thread which I'm going to start posting all my small and big tutorials that I find and make, but I don't want people posting in there so it'll be clean, thing is I can't unlock a thread I locked. Perhaps allowing "us" to unlock them also?

hmm this could be a bug in the forums then, it appears you certainly do have permission to open and close your own threads, so why you can't open them I am not sure.

I cannot find a setting that specifically deals with opening your own threads. The option is can Lock/Unlock own threads. It must be a bug with the forum software. I might upgrade us to the latest version of the forum software this weekend, no promises, and that might fix it. I will continue to look into the problem but in the meantime if you want your thread opened so you can post just pm me. Thanks for the report!

I bet I could unlock it if I can edit my posts in a locked thread. It only has the feature to lock your thread when your editing or making a new message. And since I can't edit posts in locked threads, that's why it's not letting me. (I think)

You don't have the option in the Thread Tools button while reading a thread to lock/unlock your own threads? There is no option for editing posts in lock threads. You are set up so you can edit your own posts. Like I said, it sounds like a bug or you are just missing the right spot to do this. I never use the lock or unlock thread in edit post mode. I use the Thread Tools button at the top of the threads. I don't know if you even have one of those but check and see.

Hmmm I can edit a post in a locked thread.

In fact, I can reply to a locked thread, like conans thread.

Thread tools! That works, thanks haha. Just so you know, I noticed in thread tools I have the options to merge or move my threads, basically what a mod can do but can only do it with my threads and posts, neat actually.

(e.g. Deleting, moving, bumping, merging, and sticking my own threads, never really need them though.

I'd NEVER need stick, because if the mods feel it needs to stick, then they'll stick, I don't have a right to.)

I can also add polls, that's cool. Also, what does "Remove redirect" do?

 

[The Helper]

If you move your thread you have the option to leave a redirect to that thread in the forum you moved from. The remove redirect deletes that link from the forum you moved it from if you decide you do not want the redirect there. Thanks.

For your information, I cannot use any of the tools except closing threads.

Just so you know, I'm saying this just to give you information on what I can and can't do, since this is still sorta testing, so you know what I shouldn't and should be able to do.
