| Closed Threads? Just wondering; why would a thread be closed before it's gotten any replies?  |

| Because the content might have violated the board rules.

| Or because a user posted actually two times the same thread, maybe in different forums. Have a link, so we could maybe look at it?

| My guess is that the question has been answered several hundred times already, and the user didn't bother to do a search first. For example, it's been discussed in relative detail already in this thread: Password protect files/folders - Make files/folders invisible

| Yep, this was probably the case. I guess a moderator has closed the thread and informed the user on where to find a thread about it or how to use search. Teaching users how _not_ to create yet-another-thread-about-the-same-old-things can be a tiresome process.  For me, the worst are all those who have a problem, panic, search the world for a forum, find ours and create a question thread in the HOWTO forum. I always imagine those thinking: "Yeah, howto. That's exactly what I need. It fits me perfectly. Howto solve my problem..."
