What are those little blue things?

I never noticed before but when looking at a page with a list of threads, I see some little light blue things like paperclips or thumb tacks on the end right side of only some thread titles.
What are they for?

I think they are called "tags". It means that words in the thread have been identified and "tagged" for searches. If you hover over it, you can see the words that are tagged. I do not know the algorithm that tags them though....maybe #times they appear in a thread.

Here's another thread with some more information on the subject.

Push pins are sticky threads that always remain at the top of the page...

The tags are...well...tags, for searches.

The paperclip means that thread has attachments or pics contained in the thread.

Looks like tags & push pins are blue, but paper clips are not. Op needs to look at them again to be sure which he was talking about.

Thanks. I just never noticed them before and wondered what the heck they were
