Locked Topic notice

Audience: Group owners and moderators

Location in desktop browser: Left menu > Admin > Preferences > Notices

Location on mobile device: Bottom of page > More > Admin > Preferences > Notices

The Locked Topic notice can be sent to the group automatically at the time a topic is locked. To be sent automatically, the notice must be the active notice (set to Active Message). If no Locked Topic notice is set to Active Message, none will be sent.

You may create more than one Locked Topic notice. However, only one Locked Topic notice can be designated as the Active Message. For example, you might want a notice that applies to most locked topics, which would be the Active Message, and another notice that you want to apply to certain types of locked topics, which you would select on the Topic Properties page at the time you lock those topics.

Note:

  • No one—including group owners and moderators—can reply to a locked topic.
  • Members who send an email reply to a locked topic receive an automatic delivery failure notification stating that the topic is locked.
