Question about forum symbol

Ive been here for a little over a month so i am embarressed to ask hehe
Next to the name of the thread (to the left) what does and exclamation point mean?
thank you :wink:

Don’t worry dude, I’ve been here for almost a year and I’m not sure.

I think the OP puts in there to show importance, but like I said, I don’t really know.

When you start a new thread or post any reply there will be a drop down menu under the subject line that says “Message icon:”

You can choose:

Standard
Thumb Up
Thumb Down
Exclamation Point
Question Mark
Lamp
Smiley
Angry
Cheesy
Grin
Sad
Wink

woah, cool stuff man, thank you!
