icons or whatever they are

Post by rlindley »

Where do I find a definition of the icons that appear next to postings, etc. ? Where is the general "help" for figuring out how this board works?

Where do I find a definition of the icons that appear next to postings, etc.
Only two types of "icons" are generally used,
- one for "sticky" topics (which looks like a light bulb) which will always remain at the top of the page
- another for general topics; should contain a small red star if you have contributed to that topic.

If you allow cookies, those "icons" may be reddish whenever you have not opened that topic since the last post in it.
Where is the general "help" for figuring out how this board works?
The ?FAQ at the top of the page is the main help document. You can always post your question if you cannot find an adequate answer in that document.
When you assume something, you risk being wrong half the time.

Can someone please tell me what the two-square icon near my name in the score table means?

It appears after I got two wrong answers (I hit the target in the third) and it don't goes.

Is the icon meaning some bad? Or is just a coincidence it appears after i get wrong?

Please tell me.

If you're referring to this: Image, then it means that you've added additional information to your profile; try hovering your mouse over it on the score table page. The same icon appears next to anyone's username who has added additional information and has nothing to do with right/wrong answer submissions.
