Thanks all

Am I right in thinking you were testing how many people would obey your instrcutions to ignore the thread?

I once saw a notice posted in a shop window which said "Do not read this notice".   🤣

[barry1010]

I now know the answer I was seeking.  

[barry1010]

😂. No, NJ.  An ABER had lost the ability to award 'best answer' on some threads and I wondered if closing the thread was the cause.  It isn't.

I now realise, of course, that I could have closed an old thread of mine.  😳

[ToraToraTora]

didn't think we could close a thread even our own.

[barry1010]

Threads get closed, sometimes accidentally.

[sandyRoe]

What's the theory?

[naomi24]

Barry, but did you find the answer the other person was seeking?

[barry1010]

No, sadly.  It's a mystery

Barry:
Hazlinny has also lost the ability to 'Mark as best answer'.  See here:

(It might be helpful to AB's techies if you could tell them the device and browser that you're using)

TTT:
If you ever get you wish to become a moderator, you'll then be able to close threads.  (Somehow or other though, I don't think that'll be any day soon!)
