I wonder why for some posts, I have a "no unread posts" icon that looks like a "unread post" icon.

It happens for some "Popular" and "locked" topics.
Any idea why ?

Here a snap of what I mean...

I find that icon ambiguous, too. It is as though the icons for larger threads have been swapped around: the 'new posts' icon should be the one with the flames.

From what I understand : One flame is "No unread", two flames is "unread".
But for some topics, I have a two flames "Unread"... And when this topic is really unread, it is yet another icon not seen anywhere else...

I'm guessing but I think that the left icon, the gear, tells how hot the topic is, and the second (eyeball?) tells if there are new posts.

Maybe a picture will help:

The top one is "Not hot, no new"
2nd: Warm, New messages
3rd: Scorching hot, no new messages
4th: not hot, no new
5th: Hot, no new messages.

Or, that's how I've been reading it.

That's how I'm reading it as well.

Then the "legend" at the bottom of the forum page is incorrect...

And why the topic about Titan realease (17 pages) has only one flame, where Veloce Brio (3 pages) has 2 ?

Some of the "new post" and other status cogs didn't cleanly translate with the board upgrade. I'll probably revisit that when I get a minute to give it some focus.

One of the many minor issues that pop up when an update and/or transfer happens. I am sure it will be dealt with in the near future.

That is one of the ones I never liked even before the update. If a thread has been read I prefer a grey icon, regardless of whether it has flames or not. If new, gimme some color. It's a minor point, but since someone brought it up, I may as well throw my hat out there and agree.
