Thanks! Very useful!
Is there an easy way to extend this so the alert pop up pops up when highlight-quote replying too? I think it goes straight to the reply box as is.

Awesome thanks!
Just capturing this here so someone capable of helping to implement might see it:
That would be great too! If added, maybe this can be renamed or merged into a more general warn-admins theme component for a range of (maybe selectable?) warnings for cases where admins do things in non-admin spaces that would not be allowed were they not admins.

Maybe the code isn’t set right, but when I try to import this theme-component, it only imports as a full theme and isn’t selectable as a component for other themes…

If you scroll back up to the original post you’ll see that Discourse automatically lists replies or topics which link in:

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.

I’ve submitted a PR, but looking back @Johani actually already submitted this PR which does the same thing:

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).

I am running latest test passed Discourse and this component is still working.
Are you running the beta maybe?
