If you click on the "CLOSED" reply button of a closed topic, you cannot reopen the thread from the "After posting..." drop-down box. I think this would be rather useful. If you can close an open thread this way, then you should be able to open a closed thread in the same fashion, right?

it seems logical to do this too , so i say +1 :)
