Little bell, moving or still. What's the meaning?
Sometimes there is a little bell moving to the right of a posting. Most of the posts, the bell is not moving. What's the story? I looked around and did not find any explanation--but perhaps I did not look in the right places.

Marty? Can you address this question?

I believe he is referring to the moving "Unread Posts" icon to the left of some posts on the index screens. It looks like a bell if you hold your mouth just right.

Yep, that's what he's talking about, but the point is, sometimes the *bell* is swinging, but not always.websterz wrote:I believe he is referring to the moving "Unread Posts" icon to the left of some posts on the index screens. It looks like a bell if you hold your mouth just right.
Why?

Re: Little bell, moving or still. What's the meaning?
It looks to me like the 'swinging' indicates a popular topic, with more than 100? replies.

It moves when there are unread replies to that particular post. Once you click the link to open that post, when you back out and refresh the screen that icon no longer wiggles.
Re: Little bell, moving or still. What's the meaning?
I understood it to mean a popular topic, also. I am not sure what the requirement is to make it popular, as some of my post do not have 100 posts.

Look at the bottom of any subforum page and there is a legend that explains the icons.

Thanks, websterz. I'd seen that before, but had completely forgotten. Isn't old age grand?

Al-Zeimer, not old age. When you know Al, life is easy. Just walk out of the house and DO. Everyday, you meet new people, that seem to know you, you get to see new sights and things like never before, and OH< My goodnes, TV is so intersting with all the new shows. Its just cool!. I think.

We have enough youth, how about a fountain of Smart. My computer beat me at chess, but not kickboxing
It is not getting caught in the rain, its learning to dance in it. People saying good morning, should have to prove it.

Amazing how I can read this, yet when a reader asked me the same question, I had to turn to Mike and Marty for an answer. My memory isn't what it used to be.
