Elianna Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I realize that while BBO moderates the forums, you may not actually code the forums, but I was curious if anyone knows why one of the forums (BPO polls) appears with a red dot (to the left of the forum name)? I know that when forums appear with a light blue dot that you can't click on, it means that there's not a new post in any of the threads. A bright blue dot means that there is a new post in at least one thread, and you can click on the dot to change it's status to "read". But I'm just curious what a red, unclickable dot means.

Elianna Posted June 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I think that I've figured it out: red dot there means that you can't reply to any thread in that forum (nor can you start a new one). OK, you can delete this thread since I've answered my own question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 FYI, it's not a red dot. If you look closely, you'll see that it's a red padlock, indicating that the forum is locked. The same icon can appear next to a thread within a forum, meaning you can't reply to that thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elianna Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Funny, it looked EXACTLY like the blue dots, not at all like the padlocks on threads. My eyes ARE getting old, though. Anyway, the forum is reopened, so it's not there anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
