question about symbols on the page

[megmsw]

Hi Erin,
I have a question about the symbols that appear in the little envelopes next to the postings. What does the black dot in the middle of the envelope stand for? It is not listed in the key where the other symbols are explained.

Thank you,
Meg

The black dot means it is a thread you personally have posted in. That way you can monitor threads that you are involved in more easily. I love that feature :)

Thanks! That is a nice feature. This is all so new to me, but I am really enjoying this discussion forum.
