Old Post means that you have opened that thread, presumably read it, and there have been no New Posts since you did that!


New Posts means either that there have been more posts on the thread since you last opened ir OR it is a brand new thread that you have not opened before.



Thos open and closed envelopes have been there for yonkers and yonkers



They're on all the boards, and on your My Threads
