There can be a combination of symbols, you mentioned a lock and a person in a circle which tells me the thread is closed and you've posted in it at some time.

You mean this one:

It supposed to mean the thread is locked and you participated in it. However, looks like we have a small mistake to fix with that one. It's being shown to not-locked threads that are considered hot.

I'm a cantankerous old man who prefers the old scheme but I see that I am in the minority. For some reason, the lock is showing up on threads that are not locked.

That's the one and was worrisome for many who have been enjoying the threads but wondering why the lock is there..There are lots of threads with that symbol ...this is threads I subscribe to and from my user CP
