Forums Icon question

[Free Man]

What are the far left icons which are generally something in a circle but sometimes resemble a light bulb shape?

LOL, yeah those actually mean something I think as to what shape they are and whether they scroll or not. The light bulb shape means it is a permanent post at the top of the thread. The other configurations I’m still trying to figure out myself

haha, ok. sometimes red, or blue also. Maybe a veteran of such things will read and answer for us.

Mousing over the icons will let you know the specifics of it. As Jonathan said, if it's light-bulb shaped, it means it's a "sticky" post - one that will be there permanently and is pinned to the top of the list. A round icon with a red border means it's a topic that has new posts in it since the last time you logged in or read that particular topic. If the border's black, then there are no new unread posts there. If there's a small red star in the circle as well, it means that it's a topic that you have contributed to.
