What do all the topic symbols mean?

[iamic]

I'm confused.

As I am browsing the topics in The Lounge (All 6 of them!), I see symbols next to each topic such as:



Some of these are displayed in a legend at the bottom of the page, but occasionally, I see other symbols (Such as an all orange envelope) that are not in the legend--how do I figure out what they mean?

You may find that the different envelopes relate to the nymber of replies each topic has had.
Plain open envelope may be up to 10 replies, orange open envelope may be more than 15 replies.
Just a stumble in the dark from me.........

[c.c.r.]

Here's what I think:

Open envelope = new posts

Closed envelope = no new posts

Orange color = "hot" topic

All-white color = "normal" topic

Dot on the envelope = You have posted in this thread


So, an open orange envelope with a dot would mean that it's a "hot" topic that has new posts since the last time you saw it, and at least one post in the thread was made by you.
