The thread "duty cycle..." shows a padlock but it is not locked as far as I can see. So...

 

I couldn't see the offending thread. Maybe it was considered a duplicate of the other ramp generator post by the same member.

 

https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/threads/ramp-generator-with-an-741c-as-schmitt-trigger.157184/
https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/...mp-generator-measurement.157585/#post-1365770
are both open now. There was some discussion as to whether they should be the same thread but one is about the circuit and the other is really a measurement question about the circuit. The measurement thread has general applications so it can stand on its own.

It's not unusual to lock the thread while sorting things out - it keeps things from getting out of date while we do moves, merges etc.

As always, you can send a report or PM a mod if you have questions, concerns or advice.

Thanks,
John

Yes. To all mods, sorry; I should have asked through the "report option".

Not a bigmouth myself.

No worries! 'Feedback' is a good place to ask things like this, too. I like reports/PMs better since we get an immediate note to check something out. I just took this opportunity to remind members that those options also exist.
Have a great day!

Another thing to keep in mind is that there is a bit of a lag between different pieces of the forum database being updated, so a thread that shows as being locked on one page may have actually already been unlocked and is accessible on another (or vice-versa). XenForo actually isn't too bad about this. Another forum I work is -- it can take a couple of days for parts of it to update. I'll get an e-mail with a new post and when I go to the site the forum thread list shows that there is a new post by that user, but when I go to the thread itself the post isn't there and can take an hour or more to be accessible. Post counts can take a couple days to update on the member listing page but are updated immediately on the individual member's page. Quite frustrating to manage; the latter, of course, is pretty cosmetic but the former can be a real pain when you are trying to respond in a timely fashion to a member's question in a discussion.
