Useless Question (But still curious)

Why is it that some locked threads have a little lock sign next to them and some don't? It seems to be that admin-lock = lock sign but mod lock = nothing?

If so, why not put lock icons on all of them? Regardless of why some have icons and some don't, consistency might be a good thing.

Edit: Yes I'm bored.

    mods usually go down the list and hit one button, admins seem to take a littlemore time on it. and mods to most of the work anyway

    I'd think it's something they actively have to set on or off.

    Nu they don't, the best mods are admins.

    But yea good point. Maybe it's a procedural difference instead of a privilege difference o.o.

    I still promote consistency though.

    It doesn't only show for admins and not for Mods. Regardless of who locks it sometimes it shows sometimes it doesn't. Seems to be a bug. b:surrender

    That part is actually not as bugged as you think. You can turn the multiquote on or off by clicking it. The easiest way to avoid confusion is to click the quick reply and click the thing at the bottom that says to quote the post you clicked the quick reply from.

    Ah, now I see your post.

    Well if it makes you feel better, I didn't copy you. I never look in the suggestion box because the bad suggestions make me feel stupid to read and the good suggestions get ignored most of the time and it makes me feel bad to know the possible improvements yet not get them.

    And yes, the Suggestions Box is full of good ideas being completely ignored. T_T So sad...
