What's with the weird forum symbols???

[lastbesthope]

When I log in and look at the "Vview new posts" list since my last logon

I get that Orange means unread posts, and grey means no unread posts (I run through my notification emails first before getting the list) but there are weird combos of 1 and 2 squares, some are rhombii, some have dots in, what does it all mean???

Possibly just trying to display something that isn't in your font?

I think that is "hot" threads.. like #1 or #2 "with a bullet" 8)

If you scroll to the bottom there is a Legend that tells you exactly what they mean

Forgot to add... from here go up one level then scroll to bottom.

I found the legend, which doesn't explain the dots, though I suspect that those mark the threads I am following.

Of course it seems stupid for the legend not to be on every page with the symbols.
