What the Bleep?

[EMTP513]

What does it mean when it says "You have insufficient privileges to post in this thread?"
Or SOMEthing to that effect. My whole memory is shot, especially today. We're not supposed to take people to the morgue if they die before we get there but people keep calling 911 and they keep sending us. Then we had someone who was alive when we arrived, then DOA at the emergency department.
Sorry, but it's been really long since we had multiple deaths.
I came here to unwind but picked the wrong forum in which to post.
That's what the yellow lock must mean. Oh well. I just now noticed it after being here a six months.

Sounds like you hit on one of the "news" threads perhaps?

...it means it's "locked" for members to post in that particular thread, it's strictly for informational purposes-not interchange...

I didn't know that. Thanx.

Yes, but on the pages that show your unseen forums - your new posts - there's a yellow lock beside the name.

Just like Out of Order mentioned earlier, basically any thread that you don't have permission to post to (News/Halloween Story etc) will have the yellow lock icon beside it--essentially letting you know that it is a 'read only' thread.
