Under the LH Topics icon
I see that sometimes the circle thingy with what looks like an email in it under the "topics" header on the LH side, some are scrolling, why is that? When you place the mouse on it, it says"No New Posts", Even though I have read them it still scrolls.
Just wondering....

Re: Under the LH Topics icon
I have yet to figure them out myself. I've looked to no avail in the help section as well.
Since I check the forum at least 6 times a day on average, I view the new post since my last visit and open and read all the threads that show up.
This works pretty well except on those days at work where I'm exceptionally bored and check the forum about every 15 minutes. On those days viewing the new posts since last visit and knowing the last time I looked at the forum, I can quickly scan the last post time in each thread to see if there really is a new post since my last visit.
I'm pretty confident very few posts get past me.

Thanks Frank. Just returned from a flight to Philadelphia then to a hospital between Newark and Morristown in NJ. then reverse course. Nice day to watch the autopilot fly the helicopter.
So this is only the second time today I've checked the forum but at 14:00 the day is early.

Gar I took that as a figure of speech rather than literally. I've worked pretty hard the last few years watching that oil slick build up from the firewall to the tail wheel and I'm sure Frank wasn't trying to insult me.flyguy wrote:RE RHAT 170 - - HIT AINT GOTS NOE SHIENEY SIDES !!!

The icon on the left begins to scroll at 25 replies, classifying it as a "Hot Topic".Showboatsix wrote:I see that sometimes the circle thingy with what looks like an email in it under the "topics" header on the LH side, some are scrolling, why is that?

Re: Under the LH Topics icon
Well I'm not sure if it's a hot topic or not at 25 replies. More likely we've run on so much we've reached the point of exchanging recipes.ronjenx wrote:The icon on the left begins to scroll at 25 replies, classifying it as a "Hot Topic".
I've noticed some of the icons also have stars which may mean the the person logged in and viewing has posted to the thread, but I don't know this for sure.

Re: Under the LH Topics icon
If you go to the link at the very bottom of all the pages - phpBB - it takes you to the site for this bulliten board program and has more info then you want to know, but I still could not find anything about the icons in question. There are many "styles" of the program you can select from so it may be hidden in one of the style sections.
