See I've noticed things like that.. but then I dismissed it as coincidence because there are threads that I have posted in that just have an envelope. No dot.
I wonder why only some of the threads I post in show the dot?
Nah, I don't believe that! I think it works
consistently, 100% of the time. Of course, you do have to be logged-in for it to work; otherwise, the system has no way of knowing if you've previously posted in a given thread. If you didn't see a dot in a thread that you had posted in before, it probably was because you weren't logged-in at that time.
