    A Star at the head of a thread name?

    I just saw a star appear at the head of a thread title; what's that mean?

    It means the thread is "On the Serious Side" (below the lighter side, area with very specific topics) and there is an increased expectation of civility and on-topic posting.

    It is automatic on the Serious Side so that users viewing threads through areas like "What's New" will know which posts belong to those subforums.

    I goofed it up. My response refers to the tPF feature that you can add to most threads you create.

    The star comes up automatically when you post a new thread On the Serious Side.
