If you lock a thread and make a post in it while it’s locked, there is no option to mark that post as a solution.

This was posted while this topic was closed

Not sure this is a bug. Fairly certain it is intentional as closing a topic is saying, do not alter the posts… the solution would be to open it and then mark the solution, then close it.

My bad, I do mean closing. The bug I’m reporting is this: Make a thread that is capable of having a solution marked Make a post in it Close the thread Make another post in it The first post can be marked as a solution at any time. The second post can’t be marked. If you re-open and make another post that post can also be marked as a solution, but the post that was made while it was closed still can never be marked as a solution.
