We lock old threads for two reasons: This helps limit the opportunities for spammers to post junk on old threads It also helps reinforce the principle of keeping discussions separate for different topics (we have many cases where people used to post on old threads on a topic that was totally different). It's automated, so we can't really do it selectively. Having users able to unlock old threads would rather defeat the reasons above. Anyway, as moderator I unlocked the thread and joined your post to it. Note that in IC23.1 there's now an icon in a toolbar to clean up the tmp dir: Andrew
