To the left of each Post on this board, there is a little picture of an envelope...why are some envelopes blue, but some are red?
I dont know exactly how to put this. I think the red envelopes mean that the thread has more than 20 post. Im not exactly sure.
Nope. Naked Boys thread has 14 posts and is blue while the Young Frankenstein further down the page only has 12 and is red. Though the red ones do generally seem to have more posts. Maybe it's meant to signify a "hot topic" by somehow measuring number of posts multiplied by the frequency of posting, divided by the number of views or something.

From the FAQ:
28. What are those things? That are by the thread name?
Strange as it may seem, but they are envelopes. They tell you the popularity of a thread and if you've recently viewed it or not.
If there are new messages since you've last viewed the thread, the envelope will be open, if not, the envelope will be closed. Also, the subject lines will now rebold themselves if new messages have been posted as well...The color (red or blue) signifies the popularity of the thread, or how many views it's recieved.
A red envelope is defined as a thread with at least 500 views and/or 30 replies.
That makes sense.
If there are new messages since you've last viewed the thread, the envelope will be open, if not, the envelope will be closed. Also, the subject lines will now rebold themselves if new messages have been posted as well...The color (red or blue) signifies the popularity of the thread, or how many views it's recieved.

Thank YOU! Honestly - Life just gets more and more interesting EVERY day!
All the envelopes are open for me whether their are new posts or not. And ALL of the thread titles are bold. Is this a feature that you have to turn on? Or is it not working for anyone?
