What triggers that flaming icon in the first column? |
|
Do the mods do that? Is there a button to do that? Is it based on something? Anyone know?
I do laugh when I see that flaming icon next to a seemingly innocent thread like "what I had for breakfast" and there is 50 replies.

1. Whether I've posted in it. |
|
:7
Seriously, though, it comes automatically for any thread with 20 replies.

4. So, they are assuming we can't go 50 replies without fighting each other? |
|
Then again, I guess they are right. :)

7. Actually, I'm sure they know it's much less than that before |

we break out the flame throwers and go at it with each other. They just try to protect us from the really hot ones. :P

10. It means hot topic, not flame fest. |
|
But I'm guessing you know that and are just teasing us to get your 50 replies. :spank:

13. Actually, it was an honest question. |
|
I've been here two years and could never figure out the flame. I looked for flame buttons, I looked for moderator messages, etc. I always assumed it was to indicate some fight.
Now, it is sort of like finding out Santa doesn't exist, I won't be laughing anymore at the flames on 50 post breakfast threads. Maybe I shouldn't have asked...some of the magic has died.

9. I've seen threads with 3 replies that had a 'View All' button. |

I propose a flame button so we can trigger it ourselves.

3. Try posting that you breast fed a baby at the Olive garden while |
|
breathing cigarette smoke into the face of your pit bull. That should trigger the flaming icon!
