On the "envelope" icons. That just shows which threads you have posted in. I use it for following up and things. I am not sure when it came about though as I just recently noticed it, but it is very helpful.

Cool

I enabled this feature a week or two ago. I hadn't made the announcement yet as I wanted to see how it impacted server load. Do people find this useful?

I sure like it. There are so many threads with similar names but completely different problems that it helps me to see which one I posted in to go back and see how things are going; that amongst other things as well. Like which thread I haven't seen to help out with too. Sometimes I will travel away from a forum and not have gone through all the new threads, but the "new thread" indicator is gone, so at that point, it really helps to have the dots.

My 1.2 cents.

Cool
