Mod:Close a thread

There are two ways in which you can close a thread. The first is within the thread itself, the second is via the forum display screen.

Method 1:

• Click on "Thread Tools"

• Select the "Close Thread" radio button

• Click "Perform Action"

• The system will then prompt you to give a reason for your decision.

• If you choose to give a reason, type it into the provided space and click "OK". It will then be displayed as a header at the top of the closed thread.

• If you choose not to give a reason, simply leave the space blank and click "Cancel" and no reason will be displayed.

• You will notice that whether you provide a reason or not, this method will publicly identify you as the person who closed the thread.

Method 2:

• On the forum display page, select the thread you wish to close by clicking the tickbox on the far right-hand side.

• Now click the "Moderation" menu at the bottom of the screen (you may have to scroll down the page in order to find it).

• Click on "Close Threads".

• The "Go" button should now display the number of threads that have been selected. Click "Go" and the thread will be closed.

• You will not be prompted to give a reason via this method. Nor will this method publicly identify you as the person who closed the thread.
