    Envelope on left of each thread?

    I notice that most threads on this forum seem to have an open orange,or yellow envelope on the left of them,and I have figured out what the lock,and the arrow mean,but I notice that some have a blue closed envelope instead..What does that mean?..Thanks

    if you post to the thread it shows an arrow, if its a thread you have not seen its an open envolope, if its a closed thread it has a lock and a bent arrow, the colors mean stuff too.

    The blue or yellow (color depends on whether you are signed on or not) seem to depict threads with less than a dozen replies and the red envelopes depict threads with more than a dozen replies.
    Some times it's the pot,
    Some times it's the pan,
    It might even be the skillet,
    But, most of the time, it's the cook.

    The colors indicate how popular it is, blue being less and red being a hot thread. Closed envelope means you've looked at the thread and open means a new comment you've not seen.

    Also, if you hold your pointer over the envelope for a few seconds it will tell you how many replys you have posted in that thread.

    Thanks ...with a Rosetta Stone the hieroglyphs now make some sense .
    Never could figure out what all those symbols meant ... except the lock!
