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.
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around an issue where posts made in a closed thread cannot be marked as solutions, even though posts made after reopening can. Sharksie reports that after closing a thread and making a post, that post cannot be marked as a solution, while posts made after reopening can. cpradio suggests this behavior may be intentional, as closing a thread implies no further changes. codinghorror clarifies that the term ‘lock’ is incorrect, and the correct term is ‘close’. Sharksie corrects the terminology and reiterates the issue. sam notes that the issue may not be reproducible, as it seems to work in their case.
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.
What do you mean by “lock”? There is no concept of lock in Discourse.
Did you mean
- Close
- Archive
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.
