The faster red one!
Maybe it means you have mail or you sent mail?....i dunno
its on the forum page.. when your lookin at posts... no big deal, just wondering :don'tknow:
it means that you have at least 1 post in that thread. if you put your mouse over the symbol and don't move for a second then actually tells you what it is for...
yeah, when i mouse over any symbol they all say "you have XX posts in this thread, Last XX/XX/XXXX" none of them tell me what they mean.. oh well..
I thought it meant "Your fly is down"...

It means two things.
1. It's a 'hot' thread. (More than 15 replies or 150 views) That is why it's a red color. Non-hot threads are blue.
2. It means you have posted in this thread. That's where the little arrow comes in.
I run a VBulletin forum elsewhere.
If you scroll to the very bottom of the forum menu you'll see a key of what some different icons mean.

HOT Thread with new posts
HOT Thread with no new posts.
You have posted in this thread.
So your icon is a combination of #5 and #6
There's icons for other things that aren't displayed in the key. Like locked threads,
thread moved,
and announcements

Heh, yep. I love VBulletin. Been using it for years on a gaming website I run. I bet you guys also didn't know you can change the forum style.
Scroll down to the bottom left of the page and look for a little drop down box. It probably says --MNS7. There's also an --UndergroundStyle that uses a black background and different font colors. Helps if you have a really bright LCD monitor or something.
You can download or buy different themes for your forum. I often use a 'halloween' theme during October. It's usually an easy drop-in and can completely change the look and feel of a site with new icons.
