Locked topics

I know this is going to sound a bit dumb to most users - but please bear with me - I am new to all this, but why is a topic locked?

Hi Webby,

Welcome to RootsChat.

There are no dumb questions,  asking a question is the quickest way to knowledge.  ;D  And it is what RootsChat is for.

Topics are locked to stop people replying to them. Usually because we want you to ask a question in a different place.  It can be a it confusing until you are used to RootsChat.  But there is a method to our madness.

Which topic are you asking about?

BTW,  I was just composing an FAQ for this question.  ;D

Thank you Kazza for your quick reply - I was just interested to know about the locked topics - I have seen a few items when I have been looking around the site.

It certainly is a little confusing but no doubt I will get the hang of it eventually.

Webby,

Take a look at my Guided Tour:

http://www.rootschat.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=3996.msg8241#msg8241

And keep coming back to this How To Use......section.  I will be adding to it over the next few days and once you are more familiar with the site,  it is a doddle.  ;D
