Locking threads

   / Locking threads #32  
A follow-up on the mysterious two closed threads back on 09/02. I found that if I'm logged in to TBN, and scroll through a list of threads, if my left thumb bounces on the envelope icons, the iPad touchscreen saw it as a double click. Double clicking on an envelope when you have moderator powers toggles state between closed and opened threads, depending on it's current state. I knew this on PC, but did not on iPad. I figured it out when I went to read a thread, bumped the envelope instead of the link, and it closed on me. So I'm pretty sure it was me that closed those two. I'll be a bit more careful where my left thumb rides on the screen and apologize for the inconvenience.

Just thought some of you would like to know that those two were not intentional. All the others, pretty much so. ;)

I still prefer my poltergeist explanation.

Moss... you are obviously an upstanding person. Thanks for the 'inside' explanation. :thumbsup: :drink:

From here on out, we will never know if it was just a slip of the thumb or a slip of the tongue.

Obliviously scrolling away wondering what the heck is happening.... :laughing: Only took a week to figure it out. :dance1:

Now I'm having a problem pruning threads. I have a report into the admins on that as well. I'd rather prune them and reopen if at all possible.

I'm still hoping for thread drift here to talk about locking threads. :laughing:
