What happened to the little pad lock symbol on the locked topics.....
Man this sucks, I'm sure i could get a better deal overseas 
Hmm I forget what it used to look like - was there a lock on the folder icon before?
That's right... a little lock on the bottom right of the folder icon (if my terrible memory serves me right).... I was wandering the same thing... and wanted to raise a complaint to moderators but was afraid i'd be banned...
Many full moons ago there was an icon with a padlock on it displayed in the main forum list, but there seemed no point to it, except as a distraction.
It's displayed when viewing the topic, which seemed to make more sense. If you're viewing a topic which is locked (rare) it displays it there, instead of the 'Reply' button.
Hope that helps. Enjoy.. 
p.s. Been quite a while since we've banned anybody .. been great. Are you volunteering?
