Can anyone explain the the balloons?

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?

Okay, I must be going blind, where are the balloons, Lind?

what balloons ?

grey is for under 10 replies, red for over 10 replies.

the white bit means new posts since you last read, the plus means you have posted in that thread
