Forum Icons
- Forums are sections within categories that can contain Topics (new posts) and sub-forums
- Forum icons appear to the left of each forum on the index page.
- Sub-forums are simply forums to further divide an existing forum into more sections
- Forums/Topics which contain posts you have not read are coloured in red and those with no new posts are in black.
- When a forum is locked, that means you can only read the posts and it is not possible to post new topics or answer existing ones.
Topic Icons

- Each topic contains one or more posts (replies) about that topic.
- Topics which you have contributed to are marked with a red star (Mine).
- Topic icons appear next to each topic, in each forum
- Forums which contain posts you have not read are coloured in red and those with no new posts are in black.
- When a forum is locked, that means you can only read the posts and it is not possible to post new topics or answer existing ones.
