Anyone know what the dots on the forum page mean? I see red, blue and no dots for the listings and was wondering what they meant. Had to put an additional s since topic had to be 5 characters.

Nope

Are you referring to the dots on the left or the right of the topic heading?

I think the dots on the left (associated with the category) relate to the color coding assigned to that category. Two dots means it’s in a sub-category.

The blue dot to the right indicates that the topic is new. I got a tooltip when I hovered over it for a couple of seconds. (Imagine my cursor sitting on the blue dot to the right of the topic title).

I had a look for info about this in the Discourse documentation, but couldn’t find anything after a quick search.
