Ducky Havok Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Okay, this is something that's bugged me for a little while but I never bothered asking about. What's with the big blue dots on the left side of the forums? What I mean is why are some blue and others not? And it's always the same ones that are blue because at first I just thought it was whichever forums had the most members. Any real reason or did someone just decide the site looked better with them?

ecoli Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I'm fairly sure it has to do with when the last post was made in the thread... but as to the time limit for the dot to appear, I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Havok Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 I think you are quite right, because I just looked through and those were all the latest posts. 3 minutes to answer a question that's bugged me for a little while maybe I should of thought of the more obvious possible reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 There is a key at the bottom of the page. Big blue dot means: Forum Contains New Posts Non-blue but equally big dot means: Forum Contains No New Posts Just because you're a genius doesn't mean you can skip reading the directions, Ducky. Look what happened to Wile E. Coyote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I figured it out... it's not a time limit thing. It has to do with your cookies, the browser knows when you've visited a thread, so the non-blue dot image loads instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
