Ever since the upgrade of the forum software, we get these empty threads (like "iTMS UK - Switch/Maestro cards?") that don't contain a first post, and are locked for posting.

Is that a new feature ?
What's the benefit ?
Do I need root access to start them ?

Questions over questions...

I just dropped by to say that it is sunny outside.
_,.
a solitary firefly flies at nite
into the darkness an endless flight
a million flashes of delight.

What utter nonsense. It's pitch dark outside, silly.

On the topic of missing topics: Another (non-vB) board I frequent has a neat little bug that creates an empty thread (ie. with no initial post) if the initial poster tries to preview his post before creating the thread. Could this be a similar bug in vB3?

It would be funny if this thread didn't have any replies: A thread about empty threads, empty of replies itself.

Perhaps next time.

I think he's talking about the bug where the starting post in a thread doesn't appear, so the thread looks completely empty, with just a subject line. It's been going on for a long time, though, so I'm not sure what rock T has been under.
