does this mean a user can close/lock a thread they started? if not, is that something that someone can create/has created a mod for?
also, can moderators/admin view a list of newly closed topics? (like the topics closed today or since last checked) and again, can/has a mod been made for this? maybe use/modify the 'show unread posts since last visit' to be 'show closed/locked topics since last visit'?

Yes, they can by default. This is, of course, a permission. You can change it as you like in Admin -> Permissions.

No one has ever even asked for that, specifically. Why would it be so important to monitor locked topics?
-[Unknown]
great on the first locking topic/permission answer. just what i need.
as for needing a way to monitor locked topics, i admit it's not the norm, but it will be needed for this project as it's an unusual use of a forum script. i'm not a programmer, so to me it seems as simple as something like the 'show posts since last visit', but i don't know. it would only be needed by admin/moderators, if that makes a difference.
if anyone is available to come up with the mod, please let me know and i'll be happy to explain in detail.
ETA: another way to do it would be to have closed/locked topics 'archived' in the admin/moderator section.
ETA2: or allow the user who posted the topic to close/lock it and move the topic to a forum called 'daily archive'.
i've already emailed
[email protected] but i'm wondering if anyone can help with some customizing of SMF?
thanks in advance.

Just check the MODs Board. Or, use the Package Manager. :)
Or if you need help, either post, or look at the Help Available Board. There's several offers to give help there. :)
thanks - i had to go back and look before i posted cause i didn't see those other boards until i looked again. guess i'm not seeing so well these days ;)
