BradT Posted October 29, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 29, 2008 Just curious if there was a way to highlight a thread which I may have posted in. Is it possible to add something like a star or something beside a thread which I previously made a post in. There are so many new threads each day, I was thinking this would remind us of a post we may have made in a particular thread. Just an idea. Not sure if it is possible ?

Freebird Posted October 29, 2008 Share #2 Posted October 29, 2008 Not only is it possible, it's been there for YEARS. When you look at the listing of posts, on the far left are envelope icons. If the envelope has an arrow on it, that indicates a thread that you have posted in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted October 29, 2008 Well then it must have been a good idea, someone came up with it. Actually never knew what those little things meant. Thanks BRad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eck Posted October 29, 2008 Share #5 Posted October 29, 2008 Gosh Brad, You just keep asking the questions and we can all learn something new about this site.. Heck, I didnt know about that little envelope arrow either... There are many little quirks about this site I still dont know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never go to the Forum Page, but just did and those symbols are not shown for me. I have never seen the legend that shows those symbols ?

Rocket Posted October 30, 2008 Share #9 Posted October 30, 2008 Never go to the Forum Page, but just did and those symbols are not shown for me. I have never seen the legend that shows those symbols ? Brad I normally start on the active threads page (set as my browser home page) & see it there, at the bottom. Looks like I had mis-spoke, without verifying that it also showed up on the main forum page. But I had checked watering hole, jokes & humor, poor man fixes & it shows on the bottom of those pages. So it looks like they show up in the various forum pages, but not the main forum page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted October 30, 2008 Share #10 Posted October 30, 2008 I think they show up if you click on any topic area and then scroll down. Not if you are already into a specific thread but just the topic area...such as "Watering Hole" and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if you are already into a specific thread but just the topic area...such as "Watering Hole" and etc. Okay I see it at the bottom of the watering hole. Guess I never go there often. Now what is a hot thread or how do you make them a hot thread VS. a normal Thread ? ? BRAd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted October 31, 2008 Share #12 Posted October 31, 2008 It happens automatically. I don't remember for sure but I think if a post gets 20 replies or 200 views, it automatically turns red. Those numbers can be adjusted and probably should be higher since this board is so active but I've just never paid much attention to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share #13 Posted November 1, 2008 I would agree they should be higher, but I never really paid any attention to those envelopes before and I don't see the colour difference unless I really look.
