Forum thread icons & their meanings

[SIMazing]

As I move around the forum I noticed that the threads have different icons depending on whether I've read them or not, etc. But sometimes the color and/shade doesn't change as I think it will after I've read it, and that baffles me. Is there a list of the icons and their meanings? Thanks!

I managed to find the icon legend but only if you view the board in prosilver board preference. But I guess you can check the meaning and see how it looks like in a different board style. I prefer subsilver2 out of the 3 choices.

Thank you! It took me awhile to figure out how to change my board style.
Now I can finally find out why the unread ones weren't green, and the read ones weren't white. ...except using the subsilver2 board, they will all look different anyway.

Yw. I didn't pay much attention to the thread icons initially, but now that I know what they mean it makes viewing threads much easier at a glance. I usually click on active topics to view the forum.

I also prefer the subsilver2.
There is a button "view unread posts" on the right hand side top, which I use. The list includes all main- and sub forums, so I don't miss discussions

I've updated the icon set to the ones from SubSilver2, I hope this helps!

Thank you!! That helped a lot! I had been bouncing back and forth between the two boards. Now I can just stay with simplicity and actually understand it!

I had to revert them, because some buttons had gone missing.
Sorry

Yah, I switched because the post new topic button was gone. I looked and looked. Read in FAQ thought is lost my mind. Started to take it personally... Well she doesn't want to hear your blather.... HA! Just joking... Then I switched and found a button.

Ok. Thanks for trying anyway. At least this time I understand what is going on with the icons and am not completely lost. lol
