After more than a year and a half on the forums a question riddled me…

What does the individual highlights on the forum thread counts mean?

 ![28](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/e/bebbd6a625c5af54fb2cddbe3d01fa3e6e19a194.jpeg)

So in the screenshot i took this morning we have

• Number in Grey  
• Number in Orange  
• Number in Brown  
• Number in a Blue Circle

It’s probably a stupid question but can anyone kindly clarify what these mean and also any other status’ which i may have missed from the screenshot?

Thank you

The blue circle means there are new posts that you haven’t read.

The orange and brown relate to how “hot” a thread is, measured by like to post ratio. The more likes per post, the brighter the highlight.
