Locking Posts

Although I can’t state for sure, I think this is automated that if a post hasn’t had any activity for a while it is automatically locked. At one time there was a really bad problem on this forum with spam accounts so some precautions were put in place. I’m cant say for sure if these are still applicable (maybe @milipili or @donho can decide if these are still relevant). I agree that even if some posts seem “old” they can still be relevant for discussion.

Closing Threads Stating a thread is too old.

I’m not sure I recall any of these happening. (If so it is incredibly infrequent). Care to point out some examples?

hmm just found in this post that i can click on the eye icon.

But… i did open c:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log clicked on the eye icon, no updating at all.

Am i still doing something wrong or isn’t this working yet?

@Joe-Hershberger

Claudia – Thanks Thanks Thanks --------- a lot. I have installed and checked the Plugin thoroughly. It is exactly what I needed. Changing colors for texts and having update automatic is fantastic. I wish this is a standard plugin pre-loaded or can be shown under Search Menu with ribbon button called “Enhanced Search” like this.
Once again Thank you.

@Rustam-Abdullaev

afaik this has been changed in Win10.
See here for more information on this topic.

Hi I found my own solution -
My Regex find -
(model\s"(AMURRY|CKB|CLAYDEN|DARACON|DOWNER|FREDON|FULTON HOGAN|FH DWC|FUSION|GFIS|HUSKY|LEND LEASE|M AND P|MURPHY|OLYMPIC|ROBSON|SAFEGATE|SAGEGATE|SPANTECH|STOWE|WILKEN) \d+\s)(.*)

My regex replace - model "\3

it now does not add the million lines of text.

Ok, i just found working solution how:

-> remove first and last line in one ore more files in notepad, just using this regex:

find: `[^\r\n][\r\n]+(.[\r\n]+)[^\r\n]+[\r\n]*’
change for: \1

Check regex and matches new line, it works really fine! :)
Then i just easly can add something in first line with this regex:

find what: (.*)
replace with: WHATEVERTEXT\r\n\1

Also check new line and regex. And the last one action to add something in the last one line of file:

find: (.*)
replace with: \1PUT HERE ANY TEXT

I happen to prefer ctrl+w … easier reach. But you can just remap to your personal taste…
