That circle on the left?

Postby espfrench » July 17th, 2021, 4:20 am

In the listes of posts.
To the left of each title is a small circle icon
Sometimes in red sometimes in blue?
Apparently meant to represent text?
Sometimes the text appears to be scrolling?
Sometimes there is a star?
How do I read all of this and what does each element mean?

Dear MN,
Thank you. Now it makes some sense. I had the "scrolling text" pegged as meaning someone was readING that particular file.
Shows what thinking gets me. :roll:

Ok... Now there's one with a heart over the circle?
I'm assuming someone's "liked" that post?

Not quite, espfrench. But you're close.

As you type an entry here in the forum, have you ever noticed the colorful "Post icons:" that are up above the "Subject:"?

When someone posts a new forum topic and they select one of those icons, the symbol they select gets overlaid onto the circle. Give it a try the next time you create a new posting to ask a question. - and select the 'question mark' icon. Or try it the next time you create a new posting to tell about a recording that you'd love to have made - selecting the 'heart' icon
