Yep, it needs to be updated to support a change from the summer. For now you can use the convert button. I will submit a PR for it now though.

Hi David will this also warn Leader Level 4 users when replying to closed topics?

Yes, it should do - it will notify anyone who tries to reply to a closed topic. I probably should have chosen a better name for the component…

Awesome thanks this will work very nicely as we often have elevated users replying to a closed Topic. Thank you for your excellent plugin!

I think this may need to be updated? (Stopped working after an update but didn’t catch which particular one).
