Incorrect legend to explain per-posting icon meanings and usage.
At the bottom of a page of postings, there is a legend that explains the per-posting icons. For example, a blue envelope with a light bulb indicates that one has postings in that thread.
There are two icons, that have the same explanatory text:
"you have more than 15 messages or 150 views" appears for
the orange envelope and the orange envelope with visible
contents.
I suspect that one icon means "fewer than" and one icon means "more than"
but that the legend incorrectly deployed the results of cut-and-paste.
As the text next to them indicate, one is for a thread with new posts and one is for a thread with no new posts (but post indicate more than 15 messages or 150 views).
