New and have some ques.

Okay I am a noob and like “Most” noobs,

what does a red and purple folder next to a post mean.

I guess it means that my posts suck or have already been covered. -_-

Well I tried to find some sort of a legend for the forum icons but I can’t find it.

Blue means there are news posts in the thread, but you didn’t post in it.
Light blue means there are no new posts in the thread, and you didn’t post in it.
Red means there are new post in the thread, and you posted in it.
Purple means there are no new posts in the thread, but you posted in it.

Also the blue arrow let you jump to the new posts directly.

kewl! Learn something new every day.

fascinating.

There’s also a partial legend at the bottom.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
