Message List Icons

[jwarthman]

This is a pretty basic question. When I look at the list of messages in a forum (not in a particular thread), I see icons to the far left. Some of them are explained at the bottom of the page, like "New Posts", "No New Posts", "Closed Thread", etc.

But I see some icons that I have no idea what they mean. For instance, there is the envelope with a black dot at the center, or an arrow pointing to the right. The next column is generally blank, but sometimes I see a "thumbs up" or a smiley face.

So I'd like to learn about all the different icons, but more generally I'd like to learn more about the various forum features. Yes, I've read the online help. Is there another place that explains all this stuff?

Thanks!

The smiley face and thumbs up icons in the second colum could be put in when you start a new thread. I guess the icons portray the way the poster feels!! The other stuff I don't have any idea what it is.
