A perfectly good discussion. But it's locked. Is there any reason why this thread would be locked? And if so, what's the point in promoting it on the news feed?

Very odd. I just tried and I can add reply both from Windows PC and Android phone.
Maybe it's linked to the fact that you are a newcomer.

I don't know what's different. As far as I can tell, there's no restriction on newbies there. But that may be it -- all the people who have posted in the thread are either Full Member or Advanced Member, not just Member. You become a Full Member when you've made 50 posts.

Thanks for the comments/feedback/info.
I hadn't seen the other thread, but as a comment on the operation of the forums, here seemed more appropriate; I'm sure the mods could merge the threads if they deem it appropriate.
And if it is because I'm not a regular on the forums, that would be odd - how do you encourage comments if the routine threads like books are blocked to some?

This forum is for discussion of group activities by forum members, not for discussion of the forums itself. That should be treated like reporting any other problem with our service.

You can post in other forums.
I'm not sure why new posters are being blocked in that forum, but it might have been because people were creating accounts just for the purpose of posting reviews of their own products.

Thanks for the efforts & answer, that makes sense, and is a fair reason.
Maybe with permission from a moderator (are these available at all?) I'll be able to post with permission.
