Sorry for the weird title, but i always wanted to know what each of the folders meant in the forums. There are yellow folders and then there are red folders. Why?

Just wondering, thanks for reading!

Yellow is a normal thread, red is a hot thread, as in lots of people are viewing/posting in it.

Not exactly... A Yellow folder is any normal thread. The folder turns red when the thread gets Above 50 posts

Cheers,
Anayar

I've been using FPSC/been on the forums for about a year too. I only joined this year, but I've been using it for a lot longer than that.

Folders with green upward arrows are stickies (threads that stay at the top of the list) which is a strange image to use as it suggests uploading files.
Folders with a star on also seem to be stickies, I don't know what the difference is.

To be fair I just click on random threads and see if I can reply to them, aka. this one.lol Edit: So I never really pay attention to the icons... Maybe at the rarest of times I may look for certain threads, but I couldn't careless about if it was a certain type of thread.lol

The folders with the star mean you can't reply to them, I think. (same with locks)

...I...I...I love the reference and I agree. It didn't take me long. Because I have... INTELLIMAGENCE

And the star ones are announcements and the locked ones are ones closed up by Mods for various reasons. Or at least that's what I thought.
