Question about thread icons...

This maybe a dumb question, but it's really starting to bother me that I don't know the answer. What do the different colors/icons that show up next to the thread information in the search result mean? I don't get why some are red, some are blue and some are gray.

The blue ones are regular threads, the red ones are threads that are popular/have a lot of replies, and the grey ones I believe are the ones in the quarantine room (though I could be wrong) and you need to ask a mod to let you see them.

When there's a green arrow on the thread picture it means you have one or more replies to the thread, and when there's a padlock type thing on it it means that the thread is closed and nobody can reply to it anymore. Hope this helped!

P.S. if I misunderstood any of them or mis-explained them, feel free to correct me.

Wait, wait, never mind. I'm tired lmao. The grey ones indicate threads that haven't had new replies since you read them :P sorry about that!

Also, if you scroll down to the bottom of any forum, there is an Icon Legend.

For instance, scroll down in Site Info to the below the thread list.
