When I say icon, I mean the sprites beside a topic, which is shown on the forums.
I know that the Key means that the topic is locked but what does the mushrooms, shells, flowers, etc. mean?
Red KoopaTroopa's shell = Sticky - Unread post
Green KoopaTroopa's shell = Sticky - No unread post
Red KoopaTroopa's shell 2 = Sticky - Unread Post but locked
Green KoopaTroopa's shell 2 = Sticky - No unread post but locked

If you want to know the icons above the text boxes in posts, these are:
Edit=make changes to your post
!=report a post
Quote=make a reply with part of somebody else's posts
Red KoopaTroopa's shell = Sticky - Unread post
Green KoopaTroopa's shell = Sticky - No unread post
Red KoopaTroopa's shell 2 = Sticky - Unread Post but locked
Green KoopaTroopa's shell 2 = Sticky - No unread post but locked
You could use the quote button as well to retrieve a post's BBcoding but not if the topic is locked. Can this pls also be possible for locked topics somehow?

No, that's not possible, because it would require having to reply to a topic despite being locked, which defeats the purpose of locking the topic. Only staff members are able to reply to locked topics.

That would be a pretty good idea. There could be some sort of "View source" button that allows you to view the BBCode without quoting the topic. Maybe we could even implement that for non-locked topics.
