Closed topics are no longer marked as such in the title

[SergeyBiryukov]

Previously, on support forums, titles of closed topics were prepended with [closed].

After the upgrade to bbPress 2.x in #1544, there's no way to recognize a closed topic before clicking on it.

If you do click on it, it's still not immediately obvious, because if you're an administrator, you still see the reply form.

The only evidence is "This topic is marked as closed to new replies, however your posting capabilities still allow you to do so." message above the form, which is easy to miss.

Added a plugin that prefixes closed topics with [Closed]

The "[Resolved]" indicator was recently converted to a checkmark in #2359.

For closed topics, I guess we could have a lock icon (which is what, as I vaguely recall, we had in the bbPress 1.x theme).

Replying to SergeyBiryukov:

That sounds good to me, we should just take care to consider what it looks like when they're two icons: a lock and a checkmark. What should the ordering be? I'd say the lock should definitely be grey though. #bikeshed

Here's how the list of topics with different statuses currently looks: meta-1899.png​

Here's how it looks with 1899.2.diff​: meta-1899.after.png​.

Individual topics, with the patch:

• Normal: meta-1899.normal.png​
• Closed: meta-1899.closed.png​
• Closed resolved: meta-1899.closed-resolved.png​
• Closed resolved sticky: meta-1899.closed-resolved-sticky.png​
• Closed sticky: meta-1899.closed-sticky.png​
• Sticky: meta-1899.sticky.png​

Closed sticky topics are already marked with a grey icon color, I don't think we need a second (or a third, if it's also resolved) icon there. So the sticky icon supersedes the lock icon, and I guess it makes sense :)

In 4993:

Support Theme: Prepend titles of closed topics with a lock dashicon in topic listings.

Also add a lock dashicon for closed topics in single topic views.

Fixes #1899.
