The lock symbol means the conversation is locked or closed. No further comments can be posted.

If you are referring to that small lock next to the web address, it means that the site is secure and encrypted.  https://www.exede.com/blog/encryption-little-lock-url-bar-means/

He is referring to the lock symbol used on JWTalk, as is shown in the screen shot he posted.

 

 

Shawn explained above what that means.

Oh, yeah. I never noticed that before. Okay, you've got me curious. What does the lock in the address bar mean?

When there's a lock in an address bar it means the site is https instead of http which means http-secure. A layer of encryption to the site to ensure security.

Aha! Like JWTalk. Our own site is http-secure!
