What do the symbols next to form posts mean?

[Rorkster2]

On the left side of a post title their is always a green envelope that can look slightly different as well as an occasional small symbol to the left of a post. Any way to figure out what they all mean?

Awesome. Now just to find out about those small symbols to the left

Do you mean the graph symbol for a poll?

No, they're underneath ratings. I think I've also seen one or 2 directly next to the last few titles but I can't be sure

The paper clip means at least one post has an attachment, the push pin means the thread is stickied, the weird object is a trashcan and means at least one post has been deleted.

I think he's talking about the envelopes. Some are open with a letter sticking out, some have a little guy trapped in the envelope, some are bright, some are dull, and some are letter bombs.

Actually, I know the little guy trapped in the envelope and the bomb, but I would be hard pressed to know the difference between the bright envelope and the dull envelope. (Oh, now I guess I do.)

So I searched for a trashcan wondering if clicking on it did anything. Is this it? https://www.physicsforums.com/Nexus/misc/tag.png

No, That means that the thread has been tagged.

Maybe the trashcan is only visible to mentors? I haven't been able to find one. Not even in the Philosophy forum.

Then members can't see the trashcan.
