I noticed a user was able to edit the title of a post that was locked by an admin. Feels to me that locking should lock all aspects of a post.

Oh, I forgot about this lock function. My bad.

There is another setting that prevents editing, as I recall? Or are you referring to the title of a topic, when the first post is locked?

Maybe @eviltrout can comment as he built this feature, as I recall.

This does seem like a bug to me. It comes from the fact that the logic applies to editing the post, not the topic. Will add to my list.

Sorry this slipped through the cracks. I’ve fixed it here:
