In summary, the icons next to thread titles on the PF forum represent the category or topic of the thread, and can include astronomy, biology, chemistry, engineering, math, and physics. A green checkmark icon next to a title indicates that the thread has been marked as solved, while a red exclamation point icon means it has been reported for violating forum guidelines. There are also icons indicating popularity, such as a star for high views and a flame for high replies. It is possible to filter threads by their icons using the "Filter by Icon" drop-down menu.
