    I think the icon displayed next to a thread that has been locked needs to stand out a little bit more.
    I didn't realize that the thread was locked until I read a Mod message within that thread.
    Maybe make it a different color, in addition to the lock icon...?
    Just a thought.

    This time, I noticed it. It could stand to be a little bit brighter or maybe contrast the background or folder icon more, but it works.
    Good job.

    Yeah, the new lock look works a lot better. Much easier to distinguish the locked threads from the active ones. Kinda split about the fire on the really active ones. I guess the intent is to call out the really active threads, but a lot of those are just long-winded discussions rather than real deals.

    It's really cool when the mods are responsive like you guys are. Makes for a flexible and enjoyable site that we feel like we can contribute to. Good job!

    I like it. Much better than the old one.

    Although a red background to the lock would make it stand out more...

    Doh! The icon seems to have reverted back to it's former, unnoticeable self.
