Bored Icon Question

#1 Post by Estonut » Mon Oct 13, 2008 9:40 pm

Does anyone know what the (new?) black dot appearing at 10-11 o'clock on some of the topic icons represents? I don't recall seeing it prior to the upgrade and it is not listed in the legend at the bottom of the forum page.

If you see a black dot, that means you have posted within that thread.

It's a new deal with this upgrade.

I think your answer is right, but on my Classic Default template, it's a red star and it's at around the 1:30 position. It's a nice feature, but it might be more intuitive if we all saw the same symbols.

How cool!

My question about Bored Icons was answered by two of them! :)

I thought that might be it, but then discounted my theory because I saw it on a thread that I had forgotten posting in.

Thanks!

If you use the Hello Kitty theme (and who wouldn't?), her flower hair bow appears on the HK silhouette.

It is good that you are remembering to keep Confessor in the loop about such things.

I wonder if he read my post where I mention that HK waves when there's a new message in the announcement threads?

Does HK only wave on announcement threads that I'm following, and/or those announcement threads in which I've posted a message?

I don't follow any announcement threads and I get the applauding HK just because there's a new post. Maybe she waves if you follow it? She waves goodbye on the logout icon.
