Not that I'm the best person to indicate bad grammer, but...

I know my posts are full of enough grammatical errors to kill a school marm...

The legend at the bottom of the page (the one that explains what the little globe icons mean) is incorrect.

The one with the Lock states 'Closed for Posting', not 'Closed from Posting'.

I get it, but some poeple might read that to indicate someone is currently posting about the thread, and you'll just have to wait your turn until they finish.

I'm sure that wiht the new server and everything that this board pretty much runs itself now, so you're board & just chomping at the bit to do ANYTHING, no matter how trivial.

That, and you'd be amazed at what confuses people.

:Edit: The error only occurs on the Main Page & the grouped, sub-forum pages.

Actually,

What does the "Forum is Closed for Posting" Mean?

I noticed that within the individual forums the 'Lock' Symbol is correctly identified as 'Thread Closed'

So what does the 'Lock' symbol mean when it's applied to an entire forum. I don't think I've ever seen it. What does Closed for Poting mean on an entire forum level?

Maintenance? Moderator Administration?

Take it up with Jelsoft (www.vbulletin.com) - that's one of the aspects of the system I haven't changed and it's therefore likely to be found on any vbulletin board.

"Closed from posting" isn't right, either.

How about just, um, closed?

By the way, it's grammar, not grammer.

As Stated, I'm not the best person to point out bad grammer.

It's not that I'm incapable of good grammer (quite the opposite), I'm just a really lousy typist with really bad vision. I make a lot of typing mistakes and have trouble spotting them afterwords.

I just had noticed the 'Closed for Posting' Tag and thought "That Can't be right'. Now that I've tought about it more I'm thinking "What does 'Closed for Posting'" Actually mean?

It applies to an entire Forum (Not Thread). My curiosity has been peaked. As our intrepid IT people do a super job keeping the boards up & running I posted this question.

I'd figured they'd answer me when they had a spare second (my guess was 1-2 weeks).

They do a great job.

We drove my freshman high school english teacher insane with grammar/grammer. Each week we had a spelling test, with new words plus any old words that a certain percentage of the class had not yet mastered. Our continued inability to correctly spell "grammar" infuriated the teacher. Little did she know, a group of us had agreed to keep missing the word, on purpose, just to see her reaction.

She was such a fun teacher, but for all the wrong reasons.
