The "records" icon

[electra225]

You may notice the image of a record at the start of each category. These images will look "out of focus" when there is a topic on the category you have not read. The record will appear darker after you click on the post in the unread topic. There is also a notification posted if you have chosen that option in your User Control Panel. There is also a "new posts" selection in the drop down box in "Quick Links". The little records feature is a fun little item that Mark included in the updates. He thinks they are cool. Bottom line here is that you should depend on the "new posts" in Quick LInks or your notification icon for absolutely accurate "new post" information. It sometimes takes a bit for the record icons to change after you have read a post. Their main purpose is color, decoration, something different, yet appropriate to the theme of the forum. I hope this answers everybody's questions. If not, let me know....
