Currently locked threads are not marked as such if there are new posts in them.  They display the new posts icon and have no indication of being locked.

Not sure if you'll be able to get both to display at once, and it's not super important, but it has been a bit annoying on several occasions.

Or maybe .. Whats up with the excessive locked threads?

I guess it would be possible, but is it really that much of a problem? Do you spend 10 minutes formulating a reply in your mind just to scroll down to the bottom and realize the thread is locked?

Stoopid threads get locked. It's as simple as that.

OR IS IT?

jefftheworld, the answer to your problem is surprisingly simple. The new posts icon only appears if you are logged in, ergo, just browse the site simultaneously in two different browsers, one logged in and the other not. This will nip this pesky problem right in the bud!

Although seriously, how big of a problem is this?
