What are the envelopes?

[Long Shadows]

On the theory that the only stupid question is the unasked question:

What do the envelopes mean in the first column of the thread listings? Sometimes they're orange, sometimes blue.... I can't find anywhere that tells me what they mean.

Thanks!

If you go to a forum such as "Great Food" and scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see a legend for the thread icons.


Open Envelope - thread has new replies since your last visit

Unopened Blue Envelope - thread has no new replies since your last visit

Red Envelope - thread is "Hot" with lots of replies

Envelope with arrow on it - you have posted in this thread

(Combinations) - There can be combinations such as this one in which there is a "Hot" thread that you have posted in.

Thanks so much. I must confess that I stopped scrolling down when I reached the ads. I didn't think there was any "real" content below that.
