That one means that you've read everything in that thread - which you also participated in.

PCI

It's a bug squashed behind an envelope that's been shot
Would you believe, a package sealed with wax?
How about a camera with identity problems?

Actually, Matt Nichols figured out the big dot means this is a thread you've posted in.
Size and color matter not. Judge me by my size and color do you? I mean, we don't know what those mean.

Anyway, it's being smacked around over Here.

If the envelope is open, there are posts you haven't read. If the envelope is red, there are over 20(?) posts. If the envelope is yellow, there are new posts. If the envelope is grey, nothing has been added to that thread since you were here last. The bullet-hole means you've left your mark.

Okeydoke. Thanks.
Is there a legend to that, or have you just been paying more attention than I have? (I expect it's the latter.)

Sorry for overposting you, BTW.

{next day}
I just saw a legend at the bottom of one of the Forum screens. izzat new or have I been blind?
Now I'll stop off-topicking the off-topic and go do some actual work.
