icon question

now if the "W" didn't work we'd all know immediately why

 

I haven't found this information either but I can take a stab at what some of it means.

Red dot: You have posted
Diamond: Regular post
Triangle:Sticky
Exclamation: Sale Item?
Pulsing: Hot Topic (greater than ? posts)
light blue: No new posts since your last visit
Dark Blue: New posts.

My guess is: Global Announcement.

 

I just noticed that there is an explanation of all these icons at the bottom of each forum index page.

 

Well, there is an explanation for three of them, which is not quite "all" of them.

 

I see a key to eight such icons on the list of topics pages, such as this one.

 

I don't see any at all on pages like this one. On topic list pages, I see just three explanations: the "dark" and "light" styles of diamond, as well as a padlock symbol. None of the others, such as exclamation points and red marks are explained.

How odd.

 

Re the red mark, if you're logged in and see one of those things, you should find that you've posted to that particular thread.

 

The phrase "list of topics pages, such as this one" in my earlier post, is a hyperlink to the topics index of the PriusChat Website Questions Forum which contains the complete key to the symbols in question.

I should have been clearer.

 

Ah, I see.

Yes, hyperlinks are nearly invisible here, since they're not underlined in the normal convention. They're visible as a slightly different shade in posts that happen to be the blue-tinted (even numbered) ones, but not visible at all in the ones that get the white background.

That's especially true since I'm using an LCD screen which typically has less contrast and color saturation than a CRT.

I also found the key and explanation of the symbols. Thanks.
