#3076 closed enhancement (fixed)

Clarify "your account still allows you to do so" notices

Description

These sentences sound confusing to me, as there is no verb that "to do so" should substitute for:

  • This forum is closed to new content, however your account still allows you to do so.
  • This topic is marked as closed to new replies, however your posting capabilities still allow you to do so.
  • This forum is marked as closed to new topics, however your posting capabilities still allow you to do so.

I've also seen some inaccurate translations because of that. Suggestions:

  • This forum is closed to new content, however your account still allows you to post.
  • This topic is marked as closed to new replies, however your posting capabilities still allow you to reply.
  • This forum is marked as closed to new topics, however your posting capabilities still allow you to create a topic.

Thank you. I've never been very fond of this verbiage, but it also didn't bother me enough to tweak it. Suggestions look better to my eyes.

Replying to SergeyBiryukov:


This forum is closed to new content, however your account still allows you to post.

Thinking this should align more with the other two strings proposed verbiage:

  • This forum is closed to new content, however your posting capabilities still allow you to post.
  • This topic is marked as closed to new replies, however your posting capabilities still allow you to reply.
  • This forum is marked as closed to new topics, however your posting capabilities still allow you to create a topic.

Patch 3076.1.diff​ updates with the new proposed verbiage and also adds the This forum is closed to new content... template notice to form-reply.php whereas previously there was no notice indicating that the forum was closed to new content as it already does on form-topic.php
