Posted this in ATOT and didn't get a response...

Is there a list of what the different AT Forums icons (folders, envelopes) and their colors mean? I know you can wand over some of them for the answer but some of them don't have alt tags, for example the envelopes in the My Forums page. I searched a bit but couldn't find anything.
 
Icons and their meanings:

  • Orange Envelope(My Forums) = No new replies have been posted
  • Blue Envelope(My Forums) = New posts(or you posted last) since the last time you left
  • Yellow Folder = Not a new topic/no new replies
  • Blue Folder = New topic/new replies since you last checked
  • Red Folder(with picture of lock) = Locked topic, no new posts can be made
  • Folder with clock = Sticky post, will stay on top of forums until a certain time has passed, then it will act as a normal thread again.(Has to be stickied by moderator)
  • Folder with a check = Forum issue question that has been marked as answered
  • Blue light bulb - Buddy does not have anandtech open.
  • Yellow light bulb - Buddy has anandtech window open
  • Lock(above reply) = Send private message
  • Printer(above reply) = PRINT reply
  • Magnifying Glass(above reply) = View user's profile(or click their avatar)
  • Printer(at start of thread) = View as text for printing purposes
  • Star(at start of thread) = Add topic to favorites column on left side of screen and to the favorites section in "My Forums"
  • White paper in front of white envelope(at start of thread) = Email this topic to someone
  • White envelope with pencil next to it(at start of thread) = Subscribe to topic(You will get an e-mail when the topic has new replies) and it will be listed in the "My Forums" area.
 
Thanks for all the effort. One nitpick (I can't help myself)
Lock(above reply) = Send price message

I think price should be private.

Maybe they'll put this in the FAQ.

For me the envelopes are blue, red and yellow (no orange) and I never knew the check mark was green.

Changes made. Thanks 🙂. Only envelopes are orangish here...not the folders.

Ah, yes they are - if I had only looked at My Forums (like you said) instead of the individual categories, I would have seen that. Reading comprehension FTW!
