New website icons & what they mean
I installed some new icons which will hopefully make it easier to understand what they all mean.
If it's green it means it's a new post or unread post. Unread=not red=Green!
If it's Red it means it's read=Red!
It might seem complicated but it's easy, a green topic is a new post/topic and a red topic you have seen before and there's no new posts to that topic.
A red star in the icon means you posted in that topic.
A pepper means it's a hot topic with over 20 replies.
Green pepper means unread hot topic, you haven't read it=not Red=Green
Red pepper means you read it=Red
You might have to delete your computer cookies and cache for them to show up. Most of the icons are working on my Android phone and tablet. Please let me know if you have any problems and give feedback of the new icons.
Here's the legend with all the icons you might see.

I like the green and the red tomatoes but I usually just look at new posts so of course everything is green. I don't see the need for the Hot Topic designation but that's just me. Maybe others like it

Re: New website icons & what they mean
I think the read/red, green is more intuitive. One little thing I miss is being able to put my cursor over a thread and preview/see the first sentence of the post. I don't know how many people besides me used on TV but it would give me an idea what the post was about if the subject didn't do it for me, or if I forgot what it was about, quickly without even opening the thread.
