Weird Forum Marker Thingy

[MrGrieves]

Not a big issue by any means... Below is a picture of how I see the forums. There appears to be 3 different states for forums - the New Posts marker (which is the "throbbing" one like Recruitment and Tech help in that picture - of course they aren't doing it in my png file), the No New Posts marker like shown for Markov General Chat, and a weird third one that is larger and just has a white glass look. That white one just appears on a few forums too, not all of them that are read. No biggie, just wondering if that's how it's supposed to be, or if not all the forums have the same "New Posts" and "No New Posts" image being used.

That's my shortcut. I never see the front page. Try it. Learn it. Love it. ;)

Stop hacking McDee :P

And Grieves if you can get me a SS of this "3rd" button I'll look into it. I should have some spare time tomorrow to get some fixes for these forums (or at least get the questions asked).

They are all there in my screen shot... I should have done this in the first place, but for me, this is how I interpret the forum markers:

New Posts in the forum (image is called "on.gif"): http://www.markovforums.com/SMF/Themes/helios_multi11/images/on.gif

No New Posts in the forum (image is called "on2.gif"): http://www.markovforums.com/SMF/Themes/helios_multi11/images/on2.gif

WTF? (image is called "off.gif"): http://www.markovforums.com/SMF/Themes/helios_multi11/images/off.gif

Or perhaps the WTF one is supposed to be the "Off" one, as the middle one's name is "on2.gif". Dammit, I don't understand two forms of "on" :P .

Lol, leave it to me to make some kinda deal over some forum marker gifs...
