Thread Locked (reply)

The thread will lock automatically after 20 entries, sometimes I will lock the
thread manually before if it has a very long title.

The reason for this is because when you are viewing the thread you will notice
each reply is progressively indented further. If a thread, especially in 'Table
View' mode has a long title is allowed to continued on for ever the title gets
wrapped on to many lines which is difficult to follow and makes very unfriendly
viewing.

Also, in most cases after 20 entries the contents of the posts have drifted away
from the original subject and what is being posted really needs to have a new
thread of its own.

If you want to reply to a post in a thread that has been locked for this reason
then all you need to do is start a new topic with a different and appropriate title
with reference to the old thread within the content of your new message.
