Question about posts

The original post appears here with a little black dot next to it. The replies appear with either a little circle or a small black square next to it. What is the significance of these 3 indicators? New here and wondering. Thanks all, Tom.

PS. I usually place a check mark when posting for "Send email on followup replies" Last night, this did not work as I have receive NO email but several replies have been post to my posts. ???

Those are good questions... I've never used any of those features! :)

And I've been on this forum for a long time now! (well, sorta)

Basically, dots & squares have Zero significance.

Just like classical "outline" order, the topic to the right & below on the page is directly linked to that above. Click on the topic & your response will be displayed below..............
