Icons Next to Discussions?
When I go into discussions for anything I see different icons next to the discussion names. Some of them are a black opened envelopes, others are blue closed envelopes, some have thumbtacks on them. What do all these icons mean?

Black opened envelopes represent threads who have no new messages for you to read.

Blue closed envelopes represent threads where new, recent messages have been posted that you did not read : you can click those envelopes to be taken to the first unread message.

Thumbstacks represents pinned threads : they are threads who will always be on top and are pretty important for many reasons, which are variants of either "please read before posting" threads (which are most often closed), or "regrouping discussion about a recent and active subject" threads (which are open).
