I noticed that certain topics have a little glint at the top of them ... this might be a silly question, but what is it for? Does it have a purpose, or is it just ... something shiny? :S

It always occurs on seemingly random topics, with or without new posts on them. Here is a screenshot. The glint is on the icon to the left of the title: "Redwall Anyone?"

I'm pretty sure that shows up on posts you've posted on, but I could be wrong. :)

Wow. I never noticed that before. :shock: I'm going to have to keep my eyes open from now on. I wonder what that means.

I think it's things that you have posted in, but I'm not sure.

I noticed it randomly a few days ago, and it always shows up on the ones that I have posted in, so I think the suspicions of eruheran and others are correct.

Pretty sure it's to show what you've posted in. I haven't made a full scientific study of it or anything, but I started paying attention to it when I first noticed it, and that's what seems to fit.

I think so too. From what I can tell, all of the ones in "View my posts" have that. I wonder if it's new...

I wondered if it was threads that you hadn't posted in! The thread named 'Character Introductions' is shiny for me, and I have never posted in it. 'Angels in Fantasy' is also shiny for me. Hmmm this is confusing. Haha!

I am thinking that is probably what it is too. Never noticed it before though. Haha. Good catch. :)

So far I've only noticed the shiny spot on topics I've posted on. I'll try and remember to watch for it.

It wasn't shiny on this thread for me, and then when I posted on it, it became shiny.

It's not necessarily 'shiny.' It's more of a whitish-gray dot that appears on any topic you have posted on. :)

I think I noticed that these dots started appearing the day I joined...or soon after. :D Maybe we're observant in different ways. I'm holding to the theory that they are for topics you've posted in.

Well, it just looks like a 'glint' on the logo to me. That's why I said it was shiny.

Thanks everyone. :)
