How to close a thread

by Harvey Segal
11 replies
I've just had someone respond to a thread of mine some
two months after I said I had a solution.

Which got me thinking.

Why can't we close our own threads ?

I've now burrowed into the forum software and added a
beta version of a facility to enable this.

Go to one of your threads then do the following.

Hit Ctl, Alt, Caps Lock, Shift and Tab simultaneously.

If you don't see the response 'thread closed' it's
because you are not hitting all keys at the same time so
keep persevering.

Your feedback is welcomed
- do you think this is a useful feature
- was it easy to do
- would you want a 'thread reopened' version

        Harvey,

        Wouldn't it be easier to just delete the text in the OP and fill it with a link to the DiaPer forum and say what a scam the WF is?

        That should get it locked in no time...:rolleyes:

          No KJ, that would get it removed - along with the OP.

          We need it locked.

            Perhaps you could come back into the thread, hurl vicious personal insults at the OP(yourself), and thereafter tag your your recent post with multiple infractions?

            Just trying to help,

              Can't do it.

              I don't have a hurl stone

                Puns, Mr. Segal, are appreciated only by the punster.

    I did it just to mess around while I'm waiting for a skype contact to become free... and... something very spooky happened.

    I received an email whilst simultaneously pressing the keys.

    Now, send this message to 30,000 other friends, then press ALT + F4 three times...

    It's amazing, it really works - a Baboon will appear on your screen wearing a pink leotard and rollerskates.

    Whilst rubbing your stomach with the other hand and counting backwards from 10?

    Seriously - it isn't April 1 - so I thought I'd try it.

    Ctl, CL, Shift +Tab did nothing. Adding in Alt brought up a window and the computer was trying to switch to another open program.

    I'm using Chrome on Windows 7 - so either it doesn't work at all, it's a windup or it isn't browser/OS safe. Or I just don't have enough fingers.

      And so ..

      I'm about to close this thread

      (if I can find out how )
