I just had to lock a topic on my forum, but I am puzzled by the fact that I can check BOTH lock and moderate on the same topic. What is the result if I do check both?

Also, regarding how to handle this type of thing in the future. If I change the topic to reply to sender, will replies to the original email go to the group or to the sender?

Thanks,
Su

Su -- My experience suggests that locking overrides moderating...meaning that if the topic is locked, incoming posts on that topic get waylaid by the lock before they ever land in moderation.

It depends.

Replies entered via the web interface should respect the change. However, there is no way to retrieve sent emails and change the reply-to fields...so replies people send via their email client will be routed according to the original header content.

Hope this helps,
