For everyone's reference, this is the issue you raised:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1008524&group_id=41136&atid=429863

I can definately see merit in the idea, I've just been busy with stacks of 
other stuff, I haven't had any time to look into it.

Haven't said that, with the 1.8.4 release, you can do some of the things you 
want.  If a topic becomes "obsolete", I would move it into state "closed".  
This makes the topic effectively read-only, so it will be obvious to people 
that they can't add comments to it.

You can also modify the topic description / title to indicate it has become 
obsolete, and the URL of the topic that superseeds it.  Likewise, the new 
topic can include URLs to the topic it has super-seeded.

I know its not 100% what you asked for, but it is getting there.

Cheers,
David
