Show who closed a thread, and when (and why)

[Paul B]

I know the moderator log is available in the ACP but the problem with that is only administrators have access to it.

When a thread is closed, other moderators have no idea who closed it, or when (or why).

So instead of this:


I propose something similar to when a thread is deleted, albeit in the thread status rather then the forum view, i.e.


In the forum view would also work, but that would require a bigger change as currently locked threads appear identical to open threads other than the padlock icon.


A reason for closure would also be useful, making it an option as it currently is with deleted threads.

Am I mistaken in my understanding that leaving your forum in development mode is a security risk?

That's right, but I definitely trust people to do something that they should temporarily activate, later to switch off again after the work is done.

You can also pack this into an add-on and make it available here. I can not do that...

So your addon requires development mode to install but then you can switch off dev mode?

I might just do that.
