General forum question

Post by dwells »

Hate to start a thread for a simple question but I have looked around and can't find the answer. The little icons to the left of the pages next to the threads have a little circle with what looks to be text inside. On some threads the little text inside the circle is scrolling, what the heck does that mean? is there a legend somewhere for the different states/appearance of this icon?

Best,
Don

Hmmm, I don't know. I guess I have not used that board style. From what I can tell the icon appears red if there are new posts in that forum. There are 3 different board styles you can use Black Pearl, prosilver, and subsilver2. You can change your appearance by going into your user control panel and clicking on "Board preferances" then scroll down to the "my board style" drop down box. All the three different looks are set up a little different and have different icons. Take a look, you might like one better than the others.

Here is a sample of Black Pearl

It shows if there are new post in that thread.
If the circle is red then there are post you have not yet seen, if blue then there are no new post since your last visit.
This is the magic incantation congress uses to constantly violate the 10th Amendment - "...the manufacture, sale, transportation, distribution, possession, or introduction into interstate commerce of such shall be prohibited"

Interesting, thanks fellas. I wonder what the scrolling text means though. Maybe it means someone is reading that thread :?: .
