I have to ask another dumb question...

OK.. it is time once again for me to ask another dumb question. (The last one was "What does RLDT mean?)

So.. here it is.. On the first page after you sign on...

To the left of each string's subject are symbols.. I can't figure out what they are for..

There is a circle with what looks like a bell in it.. sometimes the bell is colored sort of orange/brown, usually they are not filled with any color.

Then sometimes there is a short black arrow pointing to a page symbol. Sometimes there is no arrow.

Some of the "bells?" wiggle, and if so they get smaller and then larger again, usually they don't move.

And by the way... Where is Thuddd these days?

The Amber colored bell indicates a new post

The White colored bell indicates no new post

A lock indicates that one of our Moderators has locked the post for no more activity

And I believe that if the bell is wiggling it means that the post is real popular and experiencing a lot of activity

Thank you! Ever since I started visiting this forum I have wondered about this!

Go to the General Discussion page and scroll to the bottom of the page....after answering your post I found the Legend that describes all of the symbols

Damn.. thanks again.. I guess I never went all the way down to the bottom of that page! I checked the FAQs, but in all my time here I never saw that info.

I said it was a dumb question...

Now.. whatever happened to Timmy?

I think that Timmy was abducted by the aliens aboard the starship hatteras and is now being held hostage in the Obama headquarters camp.

The last that I heard he was training bird dogs..........

I am sure that that's the same as being abducted by aliens.[/quote]

Is that the halt leading the lame?

Capt DQ..

Thanks.. I was not clear in that I asked that question a long time ago.. and the answers resulted in Thuddd making some wry comments about Bertram 31s.. which reminded me of him, which in turn brought me to ask where he was today. I have never met the gentleman, but he seems so kind and gentle I can't understand why so many of the regs here pick on him so much!

Frank,

Timmy is our Mascot & we love him dearly, but he's also a total masochist & loves the beattings he gets...

Br,

Patrick

We pat him on the head and make him sleep under the porch.
He can't fall down any further than that.

Timmy "kind and gentle"?

Sure, about as kind and gentle as a boot to the side of the head!

Winter is coming, it'd make a toasty bon fire, albeit a stinky one...

He's either busy glassing things or killing birds. Walter

Or posing for a chaulk outline at the local watering hole... Then maybe Cathy has him on a short chain & suspended his Internet subscription.

The only glass the tub is seeing are Timmy's empty beer bottles.
But rumor has it something big is about to happen.
