Liking Comments On Closed Threads

[jaytex1969]

I think we used to be able to use the "like" feature on individual posts in threads, even if they were closed.

Someone just linked to an older, closed thread for reference in a current thread and I was going to like the older content but the option was not there.

Que pasa?



Thanks.

You’re not trying to like your own post are ya jay?

 

[jaytex1969]

Just went back (to the mylar discussion thread) and went to the older posts that shanez linked to.

Still can't "like" any posts in the threads he linked to. not sure why.

Click on the link again and see if it counts you logged in.

Let's close this one and test your theory. IBTL

That was it.

I'm logged in here, but the links took me to a page that, for some reason, showed me not logged in.

How odd. Thanks!

I’ll like this thread after it’s locked, members have been banished and the old emoji choices rise from the dust bin of technology

Maybe a wrong place to ask but why are older threads being closed anyway?
And at which point are they actually closed?

I'm not visiting this forum (or any other forum) often nowadays (though I still smoke a pipe now and then, and the cellar is still being filled with new tins&jars, and new pipes are joining the flock) so it's a bit frustrating to see that all my watched threads are now closed...

I want to be able to like my own posts. Wouldn‘t that be damn glorious.

We close threads after they are a year old to encourage new members to make threads.

And anything we deem unnecessary, rude, etc.

 

[vates]

So if I want to post a reply to an old thread, I should create a new thread.
A year is too short of a term for those who're communicating slow... like Ents, for example...

Anyway, thanks for the clarification!

My guess is that once a thread has been closed that is it, No more comments, or likes of anything else. Done is done and the mods do not have to waste time ever looking at it again.

When I was running cigar family, once a thread was locked, I then deleted it like it never happened. I wasn't going to have people question why it got closed.

I have no issue with closing threads and understand the need to delete some closed threads.

Deleting all closed threads would result in a loss of substantial amount of research and information and I often research old threads for this information.

A food forum recently closed its doors and deleted all posts (or closed them to the public). It's sad due to the loss of various stories, information, and family recipes.
