I may be a bit thick here (yeah yeah i know 
) 
But is there anywhere that tells me what the icons on the left of each post mean.
I realise that they are to do with new posting, moved to, heavy use, etc but which is which?
Also some have a star and some dont, different colours etc.
Please enlighten me
I’m not 100% sure about this but I would take a guess:
Black icons are for threads with no new posts.
Red icons are for threads with new posts.
Icons with a star on are threads that you’ve posted in.
Icons with a lock in them are locked threads.
Icons shaped a bit like an exclamation mark and with an exclamation mark in them are for sticky threads that are not locked.

Animated icons appear to indicate that there are 25 or more posts in the thread.
i also did not know but i did not want to put my hand up
sorry to hijack the thread, but does anyone know why some moderators have their names in green (like coffeeholic and repton) and some have their names in red
cos some don’t know when to stop 
and others know when to let things go

The names in red are for Site Admin and the names in green are Moderators
thanks for replies it helped a lot
fuse… dont be embarrassed 
From another BB3 forum - I think the ones for this site are the same…
= Sticky unread
= Sticky unread, and you’ve posted in this topic
= Topic Read, and you’ve posted in this topic
= Topic Unread
= Hot Topic Unread
Basically, if its red - its unread, there’s new content
If there’s a * on it, you have posted in that thread at some point
If its a lighbulb shape, its stickied.
