Hi Mates-
Have mercy and toss this old Luddite a line.

What do the following forum icons indicate: White vs Yellow paper to the left of topics, little yellow & red "flames", red numbers in parenthesis in reply columns, magnifying glasses.  Sorry if this is covered elsewhere; I couldn't find it.

If you leave your mouse pointer over each item a tool tip shows up telling you what it means. flame means its a hot post which on this forum is 25 views or 10 replies I think. White and yellow folders mean whether there are new posts since your last visit I think .

Nick - Thanks for your reply. Well put.

Also just want to apologize for this week's spam. A bit worse than usual just as I was getting a local boat show going.
