Guild Wars 2

Okay there are two icons on the forums (with no hover-over text…) that I have no idea what they mean.

1. The swoopy-arrow icon to the left of the thread title. I thought it meant “moved”, but the thread itself shows with the same URL structure…

2. The “Red Line” that appears under the Thumbs up icon in Suggestions. It showed up on this thread for several days straight; https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/account-bag/first#post3214076

The thumbs up at the top had a ____ in red underneath it. I thought maybe it was a mod “bookmarking” it or something. Anyone know?

Thanks!

The arrow I think you are referring to you I believe is the one indicating you have replied in said thread

Does it show an arrow for you on this thread now?

aye it does show the arrow

I believe the red underline beneath the thumb’s-up indicates that it is currently the most popular post on the forum.

The swoopy arrow means that you have replied in that thread.

Here is a snippet from the forum update notes about the +1 system.

…there are two levels of popularity, categorized “popular” and “very popular”.Currently these are indicated by a thumbs-up icon that appears next to the +1 button. If a post is very popular, the thumbs-up earns a star that appears within said icon.
Our future plans include updating these indicators to something more visually striking. Until then, this is how you will know if a post has achieved popular status.

There are also two levels in which posts are gauged for popularity, on a per-thread basis and forum-wide. Forum-wide popularity takes into account +1s from within a set time period across the forum. Per-thread popularity takes into account all +1s in a thread. Visually, a forum-wide popular post will have a red underline beneath the thumbs-up icon.
