Hi! I just marked a response to one of a questions I made as the solution, and then wanted to reply to thank the user who provided the solution… just to find that the thread was automatically closed the moment I marked the solution, and now I can’t post a reply anymore.
I imagine it is a maintenance/hygiene issue to have threads close automatically once they are solved, but it would be great if that could be delayed for a little while (maybe a few minutes?). I have made a note to self anyway, to leave marking things as solutions for the last thing, and will try to send a direct message to the user with my thanks, but still, I would rather have left it public in the thread.
I just now got what you meant about marking it as a solution — that maybe the thread was already closed and you didn’t notice, and marking it as a solution changed the date that Discourse says it was closed. That sounds plausible (and also like a bug in Discourse).
