What does the black hole on the letter mean?
 

What does the little black hole in the letter mean on the side of the thread topics? I've been wondering for a while now. Anyone?

See! It has happend to this thread too! What is that black dot?

Hey, I'd like to know too. :)

Black Dot mystery solved
 

The 'black dot' on the folder/envelope icon just means that a logged-in user will see a 'dot' on the folder icon next to the threads that they have already participated in.

So, when you post on a thread, you'll see a 'black dot' on the folder icon.

Hope this finally clears up the 'Mystery of the Black Dot'.

Mr. 5.0 hit the nail on the head guys... :D

Thanks!
