What is the meaning of the inverted red triangle in the upper-right corner of almost all messages? It's bracketed by two black dots. Unfortunately it's not mentioned in the FAQ's.

Thanx

I can't find any mention of it either, but I think it may be marking messages that you have not read yet. There is also a white triangle which I believe is for reporting posts to the moderator. This also seems to go away after you have read the message.

What browser are you using? I think some of the visual artifacts may be due to IE.

I'm using Firefox. I think the only post that doesn't have the red triangle is Kiril's welcome message. As far as I can tell, all the others do.

And I just noticed that my original post in this thread has *three* black dots flanking the red triangle - two on the left, one on the right. But your reply has the customary two black dots. So maybe the dots help me identify my own posts?

The white triangle shows 'Report this post' when you do a mouse over. The red one doesn't give a message.

In IE7 there is only the white triangle with a red ! to see. and the possible lowest point of another triangle.

And here's how it looks in Google Chrome:

and this is how I see my own posts in Google Chrome:

In IE8, all the triangles and dots have disappeared on my screens.

After posting a message, they all came back.

Wow - I've noticed a change. Now the white triangle is animated (turns red when cursor is pointing at it) and all the dots have disappeared.
