MrsWeasley Posted January 11, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquieL Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 The yellow triangle next to thread titles indicates that there is a new post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted January 11, 2009 Share 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...

Cait Posted January 11, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hali Posted January 11, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 but surely if there's a new post the big circle would be red anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted January 11, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
