I’m trying to move a reply to a different topic. Searching for existing topics shows me closed topics as well (that’s okay), but it doesn’t show the “lock” symbolizing that said topic is closed:

Here’s the closed topic selected in he screenshot above: [OneDrive for Business support? - Feature - Duplicacy Forum](https://forum.duplicacy.com/t/onedrive-for-business-support/696)

I believe the “lock” symbol should be shown (maybe also solved, and other similar markers) in this case.

As an added bonus the same topic status will also show up on “Featured Topic” modal. 🙂
