Little padlock

Why is there a 🔒 by my post and does it matter?

Is this post locked?

Apparently not.

Hi Pilpala,

When there's a padlock by your post, it means that only those people in the 'Weight Loss NHS' forum can access it, and not those in the wider Healthunlocked community.

When you do a post, there is the option to choose whether to keep the post viewable by just the community you are a member of, or whether to open it to 'everyone' (i.e. the whole HealthUnlocked community). You've done a couple of posts now, one that was 'locked' and one that was 'open' to all.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Lowcal - I had wondered about this, but had no idea what was going on!!

It took me many weeks when I first joined to work out what the padlocks were - I was feeling very paranoid for a while !!
