This thread is a test of the lock function on our forums. I will try to lock the secon post I make. Please try and see if you can still post to thethread. Tell me if you are replying to the first post, or the second. Also, try it a bit on your own. Maybe we can learn a bit about the lock function.
Please note- for all those who are presently taking the forums too seriously, this thread is not- I repeat not-a lumberjack free thread. [:o)]
This is a reply to my first post. I will try to lock it.
I can reply to your first post, but not the second which you locked. Also, the thread doesn’t show as locked in the forum list.
I suspect that some number of individual posts in a thread must be locked before it displays next to the thread title on the forum page that the thread is locked (even though it is not locked).

Apparently only the second post is locked, all others are up and running and replyable!
Defeated again. We will live to fight again.
Perhaps the function could be expanded so we can lock, or better yet, delete posts or threads we don’t like??[N]
Awww… I’m not feeling the love, Schlimm. C’mon, group hug!
And now you’ve gone over to the dark side? [:-,]
There’s some kind of clue, in that sometimes, the locked icon shows up on the main page as yellow, sometimes it’s grayed out. of course, I have no idea what that clue means, but then again, I’m not a lumberjack.
Maybe I could take a stab at it… [:-,]

It also seems like you can only lock your post when you first post it. As I write this, the lock option is at the lower right hand corner. But, if I try to unlock it, I’m not sure I’m able.
Edit: I was able to ulock this post through the edit function. I’m going to go back and lock the first post in this thread, and see if it locks the whole thread.
Cover me! I’m goin’ in !
Locking my first post changed nothing.
Maybe everybody should post and lock on this thread a bit, and see if bucyrus’ theory has any weight? Perhaps it is self-locking after a certain number, or a certain percentage of the posts on a thread are self-locked?
Locking!
I don’t like mushrooms.
Can I lock those???
But I like mushrooms. Maybe I should have schlimm lock you? [:-,]
Note: I replied to a post from page one, in order to get this to post.
After that last post, I went back to the main page, and the thread did not show as being locked. Maybe it only shows as being locked if the last post is self-locked?
I’ll lock this post to see if that theory holds any water.
You guys keep locking your own posts and I had to go back to the 2nd post to be able to respond.
As for locking mushrooms… I want to lock Peas.
I’m gonna leave this post unlocked.
