Greetings!

Is there some sort of FAQ on the forums themselves? In particular, I'm curious about how long a given forum topic keeps its "New topic" icon. Also, while I believe I have guessed what the new yellow 7th column icon means, I haven't seen it described anywhere specific.

Thanks for the help!

I guess the sticky posts could be considered a FAQ. Don't know how long the posts keep the new post icon. I guess we'll wait around for Achronos on that one. Or you could figure it out by refreshing every thirty seconds and see how long it takes this thing to lose the icon.

The new post icon turns off about 30 minute after last post. The Seventh Colum icon mean a bungie employee posted in the thread.

Topics keep the same icon ( Green Addition Symbol) until a Bungie staff member posts in them (Yellow 7th Column Symbol), a moderator moves them or locks them (Red Barred-Circle) or stickies/pins them (Exclamation Mark)

Phew. Links.

Not entirely true is it? A new topic will have the 'green addition symbol' but one that is not very new or been recently up-dated will appear with no icon.

The Stickies in a forum (section) have useful information and answer many questions, if you have any other questions about the site, you can just ask here.
