Question about forum icons.
I don't want to cross post, but I was in OT and asked what were the meanings of the forum icons. I'll just link to it and perhaps an answer will be forthcoming.
TIA

The difference between 
and 
is the difference between activity.
The former is used when a thread is considered "hot". A "hot" thread is 500+ views or 50+ posts.
Both indicate you, the browser, have replied to the thread.

Thank you, but what then is the meaning of this?
I have also seen a thread change from one, to the other, and then back.

In your screenshot above, the icon for this thread is yellow (
). For me on my screen now it is this.
It has now changed back and forth several times while I've been following the thread, and certainly views/replies can't be the key. Clearly you are correct, it is this:
when views > 500. But the relationship between and is still unexplained.
