No hurry, but do we plan to add the topic status stuff to the other forums here?  namely, the released version support forum…

What happens to old topics when you turn on the topic status?  are they just set to “New”?

The answer to the first question is really answered by the second.

When you assign a topic status set to a forum no existing topics are set to anything. Only new topics are assigned the first status in the list by default,. So… if you turned them on for say the 3.1 forum then none of the existing topics would be affected unless you explicitly opened the topic and set it. But all new topics would be. So I am easy on the past but will want to use it in the future

This is a test post using a threaded reply on an old topic established prior to threading being installed.
