Can anyone explain the the balloons?

lind9650 — Mon, 30 Dec 2013 06:36:35 GMT

Why do we have different balloons on the boards?

Grey, red, solid colour or a white highlight, a little plus sign on the bottom right hand corner, a green tick? The only one I can understand is when a Moderator locks a thread.

Wonder how any posters are just as puzzled as I am?

Thank you, Pepe.

BTW, I was away all winter while eBay changed. Had to learn to navigate on the boards again.

I don't see the plus, do you mean the arrow? or is it actually a plus?

this is how eBay has them labelled:

- topic

- topic with new content

- hot topic

- hot topic with new content

- hot topic with new content - you replied
