      Locking a topic is normally done when the topic has finished discussion and further 
      discussion 
	  of the subject, in this particular thread, is unnecessary.&nbsp; A post would be made reporting the bug, discussion would go on, and upon the
	  bug being fixed, a final reply would be made mentioning the fix and closing the topic.&nbsp; Further
	  discussion would take place in another Topic if necessary.</p>
	  
	  <p>To Lock a Topic simply click the <img src="icon_lock.gif" alt="Lock Topic" border="0" hspace="0"> icon
	  from the Topics listing, click the <img src="icon_folder_locked.gif" alt="Lock Topic" border="0" hspace="0"> icon
	  from within the specific Topic, or when replying to the Topic click on the checkbox 
      labelled 
	  "Check here to lock the topic after this post." and submit your reply as normal.&nbsp; This will lock the
	  topic and prevent anyone else from posting.&nbsp; When choosing either of the 2 icons you will be prompted
	  with a small pop-up window confirming your decision to lock the topic.&nbsp; Press the button, refresh the 
	  browser containing the Topic and it will now be locked.</p>

	  <p>At times it will become necessary to Un-Lock a Topic after it has been locked.&nbsp; This can happen
	  for several reasons ( accidental locking, the topic/discussion is found to still be open, etc ).&nbsp; To
	  Un-Lock a Topic simply click the <img src="icon_unlock.gif" alt="Lock Topic" border="0" hspace="0"> icon
	  from the Topics listing or click the <img src="icon_folder_unlocked.gif" alt="Lock Topic" border="0" hspace="0"> icon
