Here’s the screen shot which I hope helps…Note the single speak bubble with the “…” and “+” on top of the forum icon. I would have thought the double-speak bubble indicating that there are new posts would be “better”?

you can change those icons to whatever you like…  replace them in the theme, or you can upload per forum custom icons…  you can upload custom icons for each group and forum… the forum icons include one for forum and two for topics (read and unread)…  forum – forums – custom icons…

Sorry, but that was really not my questions. I’m trying to understand the default icons you all area using.

1) Does the speak bubble with “…” and “+” mean “add a new topic”?

2) If so, what does a Forum icon with the same over it mean? I would assume it means add a new topic. But in this case, it is meaning there is a new topic?

correct on both…    meaning based on context of where used…

Okay, thanks. I was thinking the double speak icon over the forum topic icon would have meant new topic, but okay, if depending on context, then I got it.

perhaps not best to use the same one, but lol, never even noticed and no one else mentioned…  but easily replaced in your theme if you like…
