Those little arrows?

[Morrus]

Anyone figured out why some threads have those little down-arrows next to them?

 

[Piratecat]

Yes. I believe that that's a thread with new messages since you've been here last. I might be mistaken, though!

 

[Morrus]

I don't think it's that. I just looked at your reply, then went back to the forum and refreshed; the arrow was still there.

I wanna try splitting a thread...

The mouse over says that the ones attached to subject lines will take you to the first new post in that thread as a ways of reducing your searching time. The ones on the far right take you automatically to the last post in that thread regardless of whether you have read any of the thread at all.

 

[Morrus]

But why on some and not others? And why don't they disappear if there are no new posts since you last looked at it?

 

[Mark]

They've been changing for me when I leave the site and come back to the site...even if I do not log out. *shruggles*

Hmmmm...

I'm not convinced that the downward arrows mean new stuff. I think the side pictures, the dark, closed envelopes verses the brighter, open envelopes, are what signifies new messages.

Maybe the arrows indicate subthreads?

 

[Felonious Ntent]

I cannot figure out what they are there for either.

The downward arrow automatuically brins you to the most recent post - let your curso hover over it and it'll tell you as much. . .

A useful feature... I think I'll test it now...
