Why the little circle to the left of the posts?

Post by Claudia »

I know I have been posting here for some time, and all this time I have seen the little circle to the left of the posts in the index. Sometimes they move, sometimes there is a little star, sometimes they just sit there. What are these circles for?

The moving ones means that there is amultipage thread (most of your threads there are :mrgreen: )

The coloured ones are when there are unread posts from the last time you visited the thread.

The one with the star is the one that I don't know what does it means :facepalm:

Apparently the red star means you have made at least one post somewhere in that thread.

The circle is for a sub category...
"Software" has a sub group "developers"
"Other" has the "funny stuff"

Red circle means new and unread posts.

Animated circle, red or otherwise, means that there's a lot of activity.

A circle with a little star inside means you posted at least once in that thread.

Circle within a circle means there's a sub-forum inside.

A circle with an "i" in it is an announcement.

A lightbulb shape is a sticky thread. That means it's always at the top of the list.

A circle with a padlock symbol means we've chained and locked up the thread creator and are having our way with him/her. :whip: :P :P :P
No, seriously, it means that the thread is locked and no further posts can be made to it.
