It means you can't post to it anymore. And if you read what Koasati said It should be pretty clear why he locked it.

It is just message baord ediquette to only start one thread on one subject not 2 or 3.

Don't worry you'll get the hang of it!

They are locked for various reasons. It's a way to 'kill' a thread, without deleteing it. No one can add a comment, and it will fall off the page eventually. The reason yours was locked was to kill it, but leave you a message at the same time. One thread per subject please...

All relevant comments/questions should per posted to one thread. Starting a new thread to continue a conversation is confusing for everyone, plus it pushes other peoples threads down the list unnecessarily.
Sorry I didn't have time to say all that earlier ........ I was multitasking.

Don’t pay mind to him, he is a figment of everyone’s imagination, implanted here at WinCustomize by the owner of StarDock to make sure we behave as inhumanly as possible within the limits of tolerance.
He is part of a pack but he is usually a loner rebel.



By the way, if ever in need or confuse about anything regarding the website, he along with a few other admins are the people to seek
