Could someone explain to me what each of these mean??

I assume that top left is a generic topic, red means unread
bottom right is announcement? and bottom middle is info?

what do the other ones mean? :?

middle right is supposed to represent the animated one :)

When the moderator makes a link.


See for example:
https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=6&t=8655


Currently can be also found in General: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 5&start=75

Yes, this is the moved topic icon, I know it. ;)
Image This appears when a moderator moves a topic to somewhere but leaves a redirection where the topic originally was.


What I meant is the link forum icon:

Hm. I would say, this is linking of a complete subboard into another subbord. Not moderator action.

All I found was this: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... &t=2018225
Seems to me, that this is the type of a boards/forum. A link is - as I understand it - something, that can link to another website. In our case a link from the "gameplay help" to the http://www.factorio.com/help would be useful. :)

So a link forum should be a link or a redirection to another, external website, masked as a forum topic. Clicking on it would be like clicking on a "default" link that can be found elsewhere in the Internet.
That sounds very... logical! :)

Hello,

where can I find the "go to last unread post" button?
I always see only the "go to last post" button but so I miss some interesting posts.

Greetings steinio

It's the little arrow button in the "Last Post" column of the forum lists:

This gets me literally to the last post but not to the last I read which the one with the red arrow would be indicate.
