What does the icons mean?

When I say icon, I mean the sprites beside a topic, which is shown on the forums.
I know that the Key means that the topic is locked but what does the mushrooms, shells, flowers, etc. mean?

Red Mushroom = Unread post
Green Mushroom = No unread post
Fire flower = No unread post - Popular
Ice flower = Unread post - Popular

Click here for shell ones: show

Also, I'm not sure if this is still around, but I remember that moved topics would have a Bullet Bill icon, though those are rarely present.

If you want to know the icons above the text boxes in posts, these are:
Edit=make changes to your post
!=report a post
Quote=make a reply with part of somebody else's posts

Red KoopaTroopa's shell = Sticky - Unread post
Green KoopaTroopa's shell = Sticky - No unread post
Red KoopaTroopa's shell 2 = Sticky - Unread Post but locked
Green KoopaTroopa's shell 2 = Sticky - No unread post but locked

Thanks. I was trying to figure that out as well.

You could use the quote button as well to retrieve a post's BBcoding but not if the topic is locked. Can this pls also be possible for locked topics somehow?

No, that's not possible, because it would require having to reply to a topic despite being locked, which defeats the purpose of locking the topic. Only staff members are able to reply to locked topics.

That's not what I mean. There could be an extra button that allows you to retrieve the BBcode without replying.

That would be a pretty good idea. There could be some sort of "View source" button that allows you to view the BBCode without quoting the topic. Maybe we could even implement that for non-locked topics.
