Like my other posts about Announcements, imho Close/locked topics should always move behind open topics, S0 they should be send to the end/bottom of the forums. How can i manage this. It's much easier to see for the community what topics are still open when the Closed/Locked topics get moved to the end.

Disagree.

that's why you have icons for locked, opened, hot and so on topics.

I agree with musiconly.

Though you could try adding a orderby and with the rows that control if its locked or not, that would be the only easy way to do it if it works.

Well i don't agree, aren't closed topic's closed because:

1# spam?
2# trolling
3# another topic has been opened to discuss further?

I think it would be a great add on to get them pagnated/purged to the end of the forums/sections they are closed in. As for your explenation Kilandor, you're talking chinese for me :-/

Sorry, -1 from me too. None of the forum systems are working like that, and the reason is that it's not logical. It's sorted by time of last post.

However as Kilandor said you could hack the forum php files in a multitude of ways:

- not show locked topics
- have them display with an "order by" sql statement that puts unlocked topics forward

In any case it's a matter of doing corehacks to the sql statemet.
