The emojis and exclamation points. The ones that will show before threads in the list... are they meant to draw attention to an urgent thread or should I just use them whenever? Ive wondered this for awhile now.

They are a simple way of expressing yourself and the intent of the thread.

Greetings,

Is there anywhere in the forums (e.g. FAQs or elsewhere) that describes whether there is any particular meaning/definition for the Post Icons?

One of the introductory bits of info upon joining these forums is the importance of using the 'trigger' icon when/where appropriate. So other than the smilie/emoji type icons, it seems that the other icons (e.g. medical cross, different exclamation triangles, trophy, etc) may have some meaning. So if there were something of a glossary of post icons, I'd love to know!

- Scienna
