You know when you are outide like where it says the names of the section and you see the table. Well there you find where it says the latest post. Well sometimes the latest post can also mean it got locked, so to save people time I suggest that when a topic is locked and it is on the lates post thing it has the little lock on it so people will know. What do you think?

If the topic was just locked, and doesn't have a new post added to it, it doesn't get bumped up. I think that it's good to see, sometimes, why things got locked too, or people might want to see the conclusion to a discussion, so they might want to see it. The symbol might be a good idea too, though, just to let people know that it's locked.

Well see it would have the symbol, you have a point DM, Then people could still click it and go in and see it but some people just won't bother so it would benifit.

Most of the time a locked topic does have a latest post, because most Mods leave a post saying that the topic is going to be locked.

Yes and you know a few people go in just to see what the moderator says and may think it is interesting, but when they find out it is locked they just leave and think it is inconvenient to go in and out when it is just locked.

Yeh i think that there needs to be a symbol if the thread is locked and it on for the latest post thing..........
