Call me curious, but, why are stars disabled on some threads - but you can still post on them (or the option is there to post) - in other words the thread isn't shut down but the stars are?

Thanks

Some threads are in forums which have stars disabled, such as Board Business & Questions. This is because it's rather redundant or unnecessary. My understanding of the starring system is when you agree with someone's opinion on a core subject, whereas in the Board Business forum, feedback is encouraged regardless of agreeing or disagreeing.

Thanks I appreciate your time and willingness to help me learn the ins and outs of ATS.

No problem!
There are some very tricky things on ATS for beginners, and it does take some time to get used to them. I know after returning for two years I had to take a step back and retrace some of them myself.

Though, we're all members and here to help each other out.

Cheers!
