Question Re: Pinned

[Judyin Philly]

Hi

I've been watching my for my topic to go on the 'today's posts'

I watched it go from not showing

Then at the bottom of the 'sleep' posts.

Now it's on the 'sleep' page and word pinned is there

There is no oragne box

There have been responces (0) so thought that was it-- but them looked at other posts in forum and see others who have responces still don't have the oragne box beside pinned?

Just wondering....what determines when it goes to the 'todays posts' other than when the moderator has the time to do it. That I appreciate as know you folks spend alot of time doing these 'thanks less' tasts that we so appreciate---just curious...

OK, I have a guess. If you let your cursor hover over the orange box you get a little popup that says "last unread post." If you click on this you go to the last unread post. I then when back to the first screen and refreshed my view and the orange box disappeared. So the board is probably setting a cookie somewhere that determines the orange box based upon whether or not there is anything you have not read.

Yeah...thats what it means. It's to let you know there are unread posts in that topic. When you click on it it will take you directly to the last post that you have not read.

Rachel, so what does it mean when there is 'no orange box' beside the 'pinned' word?

No orange box simply means that there are no posts in that topic that are unread. In other words, you have seen every post in that topic already.

I see my post on the 'sleep' page but not on the new posts.

I posted it after 11:00

No complaints..... Just curious how this whole system works.

Didn't know about the orange box either. Reading is much faster now.

What does the 'pinned' mean?

A topic is "pinned" when a moderator has looked at it and has decided that it is in the right place. If not, it can be moved and then pinned in a different subject area. A topic which is not "pinned" has likely not yet been looked at by a moderator. Be patient. (I am not a moderator, just a member).
