Why are there locked padlock icons next to the forum names?

Everywhere I see a forum name there’s a locked padlock icon next to it (with the exception of Public Topics):


With Public Topics as the only one without it, it makes me think that the forums with these icons are view-locked to non-full-members – is this the case?

Also, how to hide large images in spoilers or something (spoiler tag just blurs)

That is indeed the case. The topics with a lock icon for them are only visible for members that got the ‘Basic’ privileges. So Guest accounts and accounts that aren’t authorized won’t be able to get through :smile:

Use the width and height parameters of the Image instead.
