Topic: Archiving threads (Page 1 of 1)

I've just had a chat with db about archiving threads and it is currently a little difficult to work out what the new URL is. I know it is possible to reconstruct the new URL or search for it but if you archive a lot in a row neithe of these is very convenient. Would it be possible to have a link to the new URL on the thank you for archiving page? It seems the simplest solution and I don't think that it would be too difficult from a technical front.

Yea, what he said ^^

<edit> oh, yea. Any objections to tossing the nasty locked threads in here? </edit>

I have no problem with that...why not?

What is normally done with locked threads, anyway? Do they get deleted, archived, what?

The choice to archive or to delete is generally up to the individual, but the usual tohught process is 'Does it have anything useful in it, or is it just a bitch session?' Some of the funnier nonsense threads, like the lock testers, are also archived. Really, you just have to think...would this be useful to anyone?

Ok, with all the hubub lately I just wanted to make sure we weren`t saving them for something.
