Edit. I can see one on the 'Your posts' page, but not in this thread.
And now I can..
Seems to an on and off kind of thing.


The lock doesn't show up if the website is partically encrypted. That means that everything on the RatSkep server itself encrypted but not necessarily what is being posted in a thread, e.g. if someone hotlinks an image from another server in a post the lock disappears unless the source is encrypted itself. In most modern browsers you can check the details of the secure connection, in Firefox it's either the lock or the world symbol on the very left of the address bar, next to the URL.

The thing is that this thread isn't locked, but when I hit 'quote' on your post, the reply page is locked. Bit confusing.
