Thanks, there were a few people I wanted to shoutout just because they were either from my area or the area I like to do my plinking. Gave them a like I'm sure I'll see them again seems like this forum is well alive.Intro thread get locked after either 24 or 48 hours, I can't recall which.
But you can still hit the 'Like' button next to the reply button and that will at least let the person know you read their welcome to you.
Good to know it wasn't just something about my intro thread that caused it to get locked down.
