AnonyMouse_14021 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Right, I didn't know where to put this, so here it is! You know the column on the right hand side of all the thread titles, there's the circle with the F in, which tells you whether there are new posts etc? Well what's the red dot for on some of them?! I looked at the bottom at the little codey thing, but the red dot isn't on any of those! Can anyone help me? It's bugging me! haha Quote
AnonyMouse_1195 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 The yellow triangle next to thread titles indicates that there is a new post. Quote
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 What she means is the very first column (two along from where the yellow triangles are). There's a circle with an 'f' in it before the smiley column which can be pale blue to deep red (is this to show the level of activity in the thread - can't remember). So if you look at green hippo's thread about staying in the area of provison, this red circle has a little red dot to the right of the 'f'. Sometimes she doesn't explain herself very well... Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Could it be something to do with whether you've replied in a thread more than once - a personal favourite thread? Quote
AnonyMouse_14021 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 Could it be something to do with whether you've replied in a thread more than once - a personal favourite thread? I think you've cracked it Cait! It certainly applies to all the dots on mine.. Quote

AnonyMouse_8282 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 not that I want to throw a spanner in the works - but I've got red spots on one's I've nevr replied too... I think it means they're 'hot topics' ones with lots of replies.. (if we get it right do we get a pen or a mug??) xxxx Quote

I think it means they're 'hot topics' ones with lots of replies.. (if we get it right do we get a pen or a mug??) xxxx Oh louby loo! Did you have to haha Where is Steve?! He'll know. It can't be anything to do with a lot of replies - because this thread had a red spot on it when it only had 2 replies? Quote
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 mine didn't have a red spot ............. but does now ..............perhaps it means we're being watched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxx Quote
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 dosnt it just mean there are no new posts since you last looked at it? Quote
AnonyMouse_14021 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 mine didn't have a red spot ............. but does now..............perhaps it means we're being watched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxx Aaaahhh! Maybe it's because you've replied to it louby loo! Oh I hope we get to the bottom of this, it's been bugging me for months! ha ha. Quote
AnonyMouse_14021 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 Maybe it means that the thread will self destruct soon. Quote
AnonyMouse_14021 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Poof! Quote
AnonyMouse_14021 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 nope Oh well, was worth a try. I can hear mummyspud in my head saying "you're a paddy wacker" after reading these posts. Quote
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 well i viewed all forums as read - come back on the 2 posts ive looked at the red dots are pale - the others are bright red - so has to be if you have viewed them or not Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 ooooh, i think we're getting close then. My little red spot only came when i'd replied to something Quote
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 see once you repield to this thread Cait my spot went bright red again and i bet now its gone pale again Quote
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 yep it has (Steves going to think we are mad!) Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Ah so has it got something to do with people's replies then - someone has replied to a post you have made? Quote
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 if you put your curser over the red spot - if its bright red it says 'new post' if its pale it says 'no new post' Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 but surely if there's a new post the big circle would be red anyway? Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Anyway, whilst we're on the topic, If I go to the member's list, some have little pink 'ludo' men, and others don't. What does that mean? Generally active on the forum? Quote

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 nope, that's the orange chappy Quote
