Any plans for a means of seeing if a thread is locked before you view it? Perhaps making it so that locking a thread adds a "[locked]" to the title?

I wanted to post in a thread, but I didn't know it was locked until I had gotten to the bottom of it.

It says so in the subject line of a locked thread, but not in the thread index. That's a pretty easy change I guess.

Yah, i don't like reading locked threads for some reason, it gives me the creeps, thats why i want it in the subject line.

And make the subject line cut off at a certain length in the forum, not in the thread, so it would look like this in the forum, "This is a very long thread name, do yo..." and this in the thread, "This is a very long thread name, do you think it is a long thread name?"

"Yah, i don't like reading locked threads for some reason, it gives me the creeps, thats why i want it in the subject line."

It's a bit like talking to a stranger on the train, only to discover that they're dead. Happens to me all the time.

Um, a1k0n, the change doesn't seem to have been brought online yet...any ETA? Is it one of a batch of new features due soon?
