MrsWeasley Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Right, I didn't know where to put this, so here it is! You know the column on the right hand side of all the thread titles, there's the circle with the F in, which tells you whether there are new posts etc? Well what's the red dot for on some of them?! I looked at the bottom at the little codey thing, but the red dot isn't on any of those! Can anyone help me? It's bugging me! haha Quote
JacquieL Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 The yellow triangle next to thread titles indicates that there is a new post. Quote
HappyMaz Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 What she means is the very first column (two along from where the yellow triangles are). There's a circle with an 'f' in it before the smiley column which can be pale blue to deep red (is this to show the level of activity in the thread - can't remember). So if you look at green hippo's thread about staying in the area of provison, this red circle has a little red dot to the right of the 'f'. Sometimes she doesn't explain herself very well... Quote
Cait Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Could it be something to do with whether you've replied in a thread more than once - a personal favourite thread? Quote
MrsWeasley Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 Could it be something to do with whether you've replied in a thread more than once - a personal favourite thread? I think you've cracked it Cait! It certainly applies to all the dots on mine.. Quote

louby loo Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 not that I want to throw a spanner in the works - but I've got red spots on one's I've nevr replied too... I think it means they're 'hot topics' ones with lots of replies.. (if we get it right do we get a pen or a mug??) xxxx Quote

I think it means they're 'hot topics' ones with lots of replies.. (if we get it right do we get a pen or a mug??) xxxx Oh louby loo! Did you have to haha Where is Steve?! He'll know. It can't be anything to do with a lot of replies - because this thread had a red spot on it when it only had 2 replies? Quote
louby loo Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 mine didn't have a red spot ............. but does now ..............perhaps it means we're being watched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxx Quote
hali Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 dosnt it just mean there are no new posts since you last looked at it? Quote
MrsWeasley Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 mine didn't have a red spot ............. but does now..............perhaps it means we're being watched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxx Aaaahhh! Maybe it's because you've replied to it louby loo! Oh I hope we get to the bottom of this, it's been bugging me for months! ha ha. Quote
MrsWeasley Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 Maybe it means that the thread will self destruct soon. Quote
MrsWeasley Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Poof! Quote
MrsWeasley Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 nope Oh well, was worth a try. I can hear mummyspud in my head saying "you're a paddy wacker" after reading these posts. Quote
hali Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 well i viewed all forums as read - come back on the 2 posts ive looked at the red dots are pale - the others are bright red - so has to be if you have viewed them or not Quote
Cait Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 ooooh, i think we're getting close then. My little red spot only came when i'd replied to something Quote
hali Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 see once you repield to this thread Cait my spot went bright red again and i bet now its gone pale again Quote
hali Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 yep it has (Steves going to think we are mad!) Quote
Cait Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Ah so has it got something to do with people's replies then - someone has replied to a post you have made? Quote
hali Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 if you put your curser over the red spot - if its bright red it says 'new post' if its pale it says 'no new post' Quote
Cait Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 but surely if there's a new post the big circle would be red anyway? Quote
Cait Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Anyway, whilst we're on the topic, If I go to the member's list, some have little pink 'ludo' men, and others don't. What does that mean? Generally active on the forum? Quote

Shiny Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I have just read this thread from beginning to end and I have to say I haven't got a clue what you are talking about!!! I am off to invetigate!! Quote
MrsWeasley Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 Pink for a girl and blue for a boy. You didn't! Quote
