Forum Help, icons

[michelineottawa]

I cannot find a Forum on how to use the Forums.

Is there a place on the site that expains what the icons mean?

For example on the Midi, XG Forum, there are small envelope icons down the left hand side. At the bottom of the page, it explains what a "closed envelope" means, and it explains what an evelope with lines coming out of the top means.

But I cannot see where it explains what an envelope icon with a black dot over the seal means.

In the Threads column, some of the topics have a down-arrow icon. What does that mean, and where does it explain what it means?

Well, Micheline. speaking honestly as the web developer who put this together for Wally, the owner of the site, even I don't know what all the icons mean.

The software uses the popular vBulletin forum software as its core. But vBulletin is a large and complicated program. And I'm not sure I'd find a complete answer about the icons at vBulletin.com either.

Here at CVPUG we have a basic how-to-use-the-site FAQ available at

which you might find helpful.

Hi Sean

Well, if you don't know, I don't feel so bad about not understanding them.

I thought I was just being dumber than everyone else.

I will just ignore them till someone explains them.
