So this is new, I started a new topic, made it a sticky and locked it, the sticky part works but the topic will not stay locked, I go back it let's me check the "Lock Topic" box, I do and submit, the thing is pen to replies.
I did a mysql database check in CPanel, one or 2 errors, repaired it and checked again no errors.
I also cleared tge board cache.
Any clues why this Lock topic function is monkeying around
Peace

Is this a recent update to 3.3.8? Is there anything in the server logs or has your host changed anything?
Hi Mick still using 3.3.4 nothing has changed, was working fine 3 days ago, I went a head deleted the topic started a new one, tried it in other forums on my board same thing. Very weird how it stopped working.
I just tried it on a 3.3.7 board and it works as expected. I noticed though that the lock topic, as you say, from within the topic doesn’t seem to work. I’ve always used the MCP method so can’t really comment. If anyone else can confirm that it may be a bug and needs reporting.
Edit: Although from within the topic it says it’s locked (prevent editing) it doesn’t lock it neither do you get the locked symbol. The topic can still be posted in.

Thanks for checking Mick, so this bug must have been there from at least 3.3.4 my version, wonder why it was working for me before. But first thing in the morning who cares as long as the MCP option works, thanks again.
Lock works from within topic and from MCP on my side (337 and 338, php 8.0.3)

Do you get the locked icon?
Yep, the locked icon is there and another user cannot post in the topic.
