Closed Threads

[Peter]

I notice 1 of the newer features is that when someone closes a thread it now has a red strike through over it.

A side effect this has caused is that threads that are stickied but closed display this strike through as well. This gives the impression that the thread is no longer relevant and can be disregarded which can cause people to miss important forum rules etc.

It would be worth while checking if a thread is a sticky prior to carrying out the strike through.

A lot of people noticed this and this has prompted that forum rules and important information will be conveyed through forum announcements in future instead of sticky threads.

The remaining sticky threads should be opened up. If you noticed any that have slipped by please feel free to report them via the "report post" system for the section mods.
