left-hand column - - envelopes, etc?

[momlbe]

Is there a legend of some sort to de-code the icons in the left-hand column of the boards? There are a few listed at the bottom of most board pages - pink envelope, yellow envelope, etc. But what are the rest? Can't seem to find the info on the site - - but did end up finding out other things!

The color shows if the post is new since the last time you were on - or if it has new replies. The pink means that it is a new posts/has new replies, and the yellow means there is nothing new.

If there are flames, then it means that it is a hot post - there are more than 15 replies or 150 views. If there is a lock on it, then it means that it has been closed by one of the moderators or administrators. The reason for the closing will usually be shown inside or in the title of the thread.

Finally, if you've replied to a thread, or if you were the original poster, then there will be a black dot in the middle and the folder will change into an envelope. If the envelope is open with a little piece of paper sticking out - there are new replies. If it's closed, there are no new replies.

I hope that helps!

It was the open/closed envelopes that had me stumped! Thanks for the reply!
