| Thread locks too soon |

I wanted to reply to a thread with zero replies, but it was locked. Could it be that threads are locked too quickly? Maybe it was a useful feature when allegro.cc was very active, but nowadays the pace is slower, and thread locking sometimes makes it impossible to reply. -- |

It's like you said, the post density here is much much smaller than it used to be and the time limit should be extended (or eliminated). There are so few people here now, we don't really have to worry about the problems that stem from re-sending old posts to the top. I hope one day things get more popular again. I miss helping new people! Lots of us do--it shows whenever someone new has a question we all jump in as fast as we can. -----sig: |

If your thread locks too soon, double check your mutex. Agui GUI API -> https://github.com/jmasterx/Agui |

My post didn't have a mutex lock, so it ended up split in half by another process. -----sig: |

I suppose you were posting early just in case the thread was locked before you finished, but then what's the point if your partial message doesn't make any sense to anyone?!
