Topic: Why a YELLOW folder icon, not blue? (Read 1114 times)

Could anybody tell me, as I'm new to this site, why, when I posted a message an hour or so ago, the icon to the left of the listing is a yellow folder, whereas everyone else has got a blue one?
Am I doing something wrong?
Also, how do I get the posting listed with a blue 'NEW' icon as this, too, is missing?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thankyou.

The business with the yellow folder appearing instead of blue puzzled ME for quite a while - it made me think that somehow I was not starting new topics in the accepted way. It took me a while to realise that the yellow indicated that I'd had some kind of input myself, and then I properly read the explanations behind everything that goes on here...

To 'Falkyrn'
It was my reply to your response that was a little brusque, not your kind answering of my query.
It think it was because I was annoyed with myself at not realising what the symbols meant and consequently wasting peoples' time that caused me to reply, what I now realise was, curtly.
Th efforts of anyone answering my messages is very much appreciated and I always hope that I will be able to reciprocate some time.
Sorry...and, yes, I am already enjoying the site - I think it is excellent.

Hi
Can anyone please explain why when I have posted a message, the folder in the first column is yellow when all others are blue, where I am going wrong?
Regards
Ann

Hi Ann
DON'T PANIC!!
The folders are yellow on your posts (when you look) while everyone else's are blue. When I look, your folders are blue, but mine are yellow!
In the same way, if I open and look at my posts they have a Modify button at the top right, whereas other people's appear to me with a Quote button. Thus I can Modify my own posts, but no-one else can (except a Moderator), but I can quote someone else's post.
That should be as clear as mud! Try it and see!
kind regards, Arranroots

Hi Arronroots
Thank you for your reply I do understand what you are saying and I never thought of that, I must admit I have tried thinking all ways what I was doing wrong my messages stood out like a sore finger.
