Do you lose your posts when you close a thread?

I was just wondering, if I were to close a thread, does it mean that it would be later deleted and I will lose my posts count? Fill me in here ....

close it and find out

0-0 = 0

Only moderators can close threads.

Well obviously if he deletes the whole thread, his posts will be deleted with it.

I think he meant close.

Interesting... is this something that's only enabled in the chillout room? Because we can't do it in the TO forum.

Ok, its rephrasing time ....

OK, dont tell me that if I started my own thread and I cant close it, cause I know I could and I've done that before. What I was asking is if I close a thread, do the posts that I make in that thread EVENTUALLY get subtracted from my Total Posts list? Please be straight with you answer, not "Find Out yourself" way. Thank you.

It seems to be enabled in every room except the Toronto forum.

check your count after you close it


















haha no of course they wouldnt

That's crazy, I think the Toronto forum is where we need it the most!

LOL

Ok, thanks for the answer ....

Now I am gonna go and close some of the now useless threads that have been exhausted. Thanks for answering. Cause I wanna add on my posts total .... Who doesnt?

No you can't !

you can close your own thread, a mod can close your thread and you can not re-open them, what's the point in a Mod closing a thread if the threadstarter can open it again . . .

and no you do not lose posts when a thread is closed, only if that thread is deleted.

Yes, you can reopen a thread that a mods closed, ive seen it done many times before and even tried it on occasion.

(if you dont want people knowing about it then thats fair enough, so just edit my post or something, but you certainly can do it, if you should or not is a different matter )

Well just incase you didnt know, posts in chillout arent counted in your profile post count anyway. But you can get your post count including chillout posts by clicking search in your profile then looking near the top and it will tell you.

no, you can't re-open threads closed by mods. you could in the past, but not anymore. that issue has already been addressed and fixed.

do you really lose your posts if the thread is deleted? for example, on another board i post on, i checked my total post count and it was different than the amount of times i posted using the search function. i figured that the search function couldnt see the deleted threads but i hadnt lost a count for them...

Worked for me about a week ago, has it been fixed since then?

yes, swamper did indeed fix that and i even tested it for him


but in some rooms that feature doesn't work, like a few days ago i reopened a thread that flystyler closed and then closed it again.
