What happened to the dot?

[caryc]

There used to be a black dot next to the icon for a thread if you posted in the thread. That way you could see what threads you participated in. What happened to that dot?

 

[Pat-inCO]

I noticed the same thing. Good question.
My bet is processor time required.

Budget cuts.

We did an audit and found we'd used 883,721 dots in 2014 and 983,462 dots in 2015. While we buy them in bulk relatively cheap, it still adds up when you're talking about numbers like that.

Are we really supposed to understand this?

OK, so what is with the arrow pointing to the little page just to the left of the topic? Do we really need that? It's on every post. All it does is go to the first post in every thread whether or not I've posted in that thread so, it does nothing.

Wow..........dots......arrows...........
I guess we are lucky they didn't use polyhedrons.

Odd ...... I don't have those.

Dang, I don't have any dots or arrows. I have to actually remember where I've been. (which is getting harder)

See them now?

 

[hittman]

Oh I see the arrows now ..... I do have them. Was looking clear over on the left margin. Like you, I don't have the dots either.

Arrows are part of the software package, no additional charge.

I had some of those cut out during a colonoscopy several years ago.

 

[Dan in MI]

I don't even get those. The little folder gets the corner turned black, but I'm not sure what it indicates.

Yeah, me too. My doctor said they were the B9 type. He said those were better than the other kind. I hope you had B9 polyhedrons too.

Why would we want them on the forum posts?

It's good that there is no charge because they don't do anything. :wink:
