Box next to my name

[Piggle]

Am I being really thick ....... don't answer that btw but why do I have an orange square next to my name, some people have a green one.

Does it mean something?

[veggiechicken]

But now its green!! Is it when you're actually live on that post?
Edit - Yes - my box went orange too

[Aberdeenplotter]

maybe cos you are a Tuber unlike me who is a Early Fruiter. If that's what it is, it's just the number of posts you have made on the Forum.

[Piggle]

if it goes red ... will I explode?

[Aberdeenplotter]

Dunno but I think I'll adjourn to the Gardener's rest just in case

[veggiechicken]

Piggle's first post is green but the one above ^^ is orange. I bet that is she goes to another thread and comes back it will have gone green (or exploded)

[Piggle]

this is hurting my head now...... ka-boom

[bearded bloke]

Green shows you have read the post,orange is for an unread post,if you got to a part read thread using the new posts button,the post you arrive on & all below will be orange where the posts above will be green

[Piggle]

er......so your are orange but after I post this you should turn green yes?

[Piggle]

aah but you're still orange and so am I now .........

[bearded bloke]

Yes as they are new post to this visit,move to another thread & come back they will be green,then when you reply that will be orange

[Piggle]

yup that's done it ! I'll get back under my rock!

[bearded bloke]

Think you can go from orange to green by pressing F5 to refresh the page .


Edit: yes you can,so do a post here,press the post button it will be orange,then press F5 it will refresh to green

Dear Piggle,
Why did you have to mention these boxes? I had never noticed them before and now I can't stop checking the colour
I will probably dream about orange and green boxes tonight.
Thank you,
VC

Because I edited that ^^ post it now shows as orange,so an F5 will make both these go green
