PF Symbols: Guide to Meaning & Thread Titles

[klimatos]

Where can I find a guide to the meaning of the various symbols used in the Forum? For instance, what do the different kinds of envelopes that precede the thread titles mean?

Maybe have a look at the FAQ: https://www.physicsforums.com/faq.php?faq=vb3_board_faq#faq_vb3_board_usage

Looks like Greg removed the message icon legend. Apparently, the icons can be customized.

Here is an example of a legend, these are similar.

Hmmm, we should have a user manual that includes such stuff. It would be handy...

Coincidence. I was asked about their meaning few days ago and Kurdt told me where to find them.

Kurdt has a lot of secret forum knowledge.

There is another icon not in this list. It is a combination of the "No new posts" version of "more than 50 replies or 500 views", and "You have posted in this thread". I think the picture in "You have posted in this thread" is an actual picture of me wearing a blue pullover, but I can't be sure. It is anatomically correct, but not politically.
