Why do my posts look different than evryone's?

Hi. I have a question about posting. I have been using the forum for sometime now, and have found it really helpful. I am curious about the envelope to the left of posts that indicates whether the post has been read, if it's a hot topic, etc.

Mine always has a green circle on the envelope. Is this because it is me, because nobody (alas) looked at....I wonder if it just shows you your own posts, as nobody else I see has it! I am wondering if inhibits people from reading my posts.

I have needed some help recently, so I want to be sure people are able to help me. Any clue?

Thanks!

It means that you have posted a message in that thread. Now if I look at the list, I will have that mark against this thread because I entered this message.

It shows you where you have posted

Hmmmmm, I'm STILL confused ) !!

Thanks for asking that question, many of us are wondering the same thing.....maybe this could be pinned with a little more information added in the forum suggestions thread!???

There is a green envelope on some Topics that I've never posted in....

A green envelope stands for a poll. The little dot in the envelope means you have posted in that topic.

You guys are great. Thank you! I was boggled. I am also glad to hear that I wasn't the only one wondering.

Three cheers to the fish forums, and happy fish keeping!
Now I have to figure out how to make my topics more appealing to reply to, since nothing is wrong with my little envelope! HA!
Thanks a million, Guppy Mama
