To my knowledge the problem with the equipment thread is simply a glitch in the programming as I cannot open it either (though nice idea on the expanding suggestion. I had not tried that).

Second, the second thread was locked because questions of that nature, and threads such as this, are actually to be directed as emails to the individual moderators or to administration instead of posted on a public forum since they are not necessarily related to bowhunting but rather a function of the forum. You can contact us via clicking on our screen names and getting our email addresses. Or, you can click on the link in each thread that says "Report abuse". Or, you can click on the link at the top right of the page that states "Contact Admin.".

Hope this helps (...and I will leave this thread open briefly so that I know you read it and can reply).
