    I think it is a good idea - but it would need to be an option only and you would need to use it selectively.

    or maybe, even if you don't want to reply to a topic, just have a link above the topic marked 'Notify me of any new posts in this thread' or sumfink like that.

    Exactly, another good idea.. I have a problem where i might reply to a thread and then never visit it again, perhaps there are people enraged by my comments and I don't even get to see their red faces.. Terrible waste!

    Oh and I remembered what I wanted to ask. Why are threads closed?

    From my understanding of it it's usually because they've either run their course completely and there's nothing more to be said, they've degenerated so badly into arguments or spam that the moderator doesn't want to let them continue, - or of course you get the ones that are inappropriate to the forum they are posted in (or just plain inappropriate - period). The reason, as I see it, why threads are just closed as opposed to being deleted is so that people can still read them and see what was said so far (or see what NOT to do, how NOT to behave)...

    That's just how I see it though, I'm sure DeV can confirm or deny or elaborate...

    And as for your suggestion, ( or more specifically - seamus' one wink.gif ) - I agree 100%!

    Twould be easy to implement too - it'd only have to be added to the html generator for new topics now, and not added to every page on boards(why would you ask for new posts on old, unused threads?) DeVore(or whoever is the scriptmaster), whatcha think?
