Thx Montana,

Met Mark and Stephen as a Panelist on AstroRadio.Earth a couple of weeks ago, just getting into Solar but after hearing about how Mark got into solar observing I get it. I am a Slooh.com remote imaging user and Ambassador, and a member of the Milwaukee Astronomical Society;

At this time as I am starting to dig into the knowledge base here just wondering if there is a "Mark All As Read" feature to set my self a new baseline.

Montana,

Thx again, the only other question I have at this time is if there is an explanation of the Chat icons to the left of the messages,

Thank you again.

I'm guessing as to what you mean, do you mean the round circles to the left of each message or forum if on the index page? If so, they are red if you haven't read them and there is a new message, white if read. If they have a star on them it means you have once replied to that message. If it is red then click on the round circle and it will take you to the unread part of the message. If you click on the actual topic writing you will always go back to the beginning. Does that make any sense :lol: I hope so, it sounds like gobbledy gook :lol:

Hi Tardigrade,

If I am new to a program I just click everywhere and see what happens :o :o :o

That is the best way to learn :lol: :lol: :lol:

Everywhere where your mouse turns from an arrow to a pointing finger there is an action which you can trigger by clicking there ...

I guess what I was wondering about was the type of icon, paragraph, flame, I, etc. and small emoji add ins?

Thx again for your time

If a message has 9 answers or more, the icon turns from " lines in a circle " to " flame in a circle " and the little icon on the left bottom is user defined when he writes his message.
