RDX1 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 (edited) There is no post "NW" and ">" and there is post "NW" and ">". What do these mean? Does the "NW" mean I have posted in that forum before? Edit: I looked at the faq it it says this: (https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=78875) Q. What do the bluw buttons on the Main forum page mean? A. Dark Blue with white arrow = New Topics/Replies in that forum Dark Blue with white NW = Light blue with arrow = Light blue with white NW = Edited July 20, 2004 by RDX1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WishX Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Very nice. I was wondering what the difference between the NW and > icons were. Even though bangbang got it already, but your explanation is much nicer. I know it's often easier to understand things when they are presented visually. Since we're talking about the same 4 icons we all see everyday, I thought it would be nice to put them in a post with an explanation next to them. That way, should anyone wonder, you can always direct them to the visual example. Glad you liked it. Always happy to help. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
