Alright thanks for the detailed answer. I believe there might be a problem with the edit buttons. At least, I don't experience this behavior. No big deal though. I was just curious. As for the locked thread I was frustrating about, I won't need to ask a admin to revert the auto-lock because I found a more relevant one that is still open. Good to know we have this option though.

Hi! you have been given two replies, both of them true but just a bit incomplete (I think :) Regarding the edit button: the first post on each thread can not be edited by its poster because of a limitation of the forum software and its integration with mailing lists. Since it can be done by an administrator, you can ask (me, for instance) for any change (i.e. typos, bad titles, etc.) and we'll help with that. Regarding the threads being locked, that's a common design decision which affects all threads (without any relation to their topics) after a given time without activity. It's better for the organization of the forum and avoids "necroposting", which usually results in less replies that with a new post. Once again, when it's needed for some reason, an administrator can revert this auto-lock. We've locked a couple of threads for content reasons, but it's a really uncommon practice at this forum :)

I can see how it's a good idea in the case a specific question is answered but those threads seemed to exist so Minifree could provide support to Trisquel users who might struggle because of libreboot specifics or hardware related issues. Anyway yes, I will try IRC. I didn't think of that. Thanks.

Once someone replies to your post it gets automatically locked, and for a good reason. Imagine what would this place be without this feature.. an terrible hell.. You can go on their IRC channel on freenode. I believe it was #libreboot

It seems more complex than that but thanks.

Also, why is the edit button not always available in these forums? I wish I could correct my typos but for some reason, not all of my posts seem to allow that.

I purchased one of these laptops and it would have been nice to be able to receive some support from Leah or other users. One of the threads explains why it was locked but not the second one. Is this the wrong place to ask support for these laptops? If so, where would be a better place? Minifree says they provide support by email but I haven't had much luck with that for the past few weeks. Thanks.
