Hi, I am used to using the unread notification flag etc on the top right hand side of the gorum banner, but I see that on the left of my User name there are some extra symbols amd a progress bar of sorts. If I hover the nouse over them they blank out, but no description is shown, apart from java void(0) which is a software header / title link. It is not obvious what these do. I have tried clicking on them but I get unexpected results. They go completely when I am writing a post.

Edit: Actually after I posted this thread, the symbols have gone completely. They are no longer displaying. I think they may be the quick navigation option, but I have never enabled that. Confused puddytat.

@Oldvatr,
If you go to a new thread then this tells you how many posts are in it.
It does not work on unanswered threads. I wondered what it was to begin with.

I wonder who uses it. If I scroll down the thread then it soon disappears and becomes useless. I agree the numbers are postings in the thread, but seems limited to 20 max. The progress bar has a mind of its own. The double down chevrons take me to the last post in the thread, The single up arrow takes me to the first post. The other arrows seem to go wherever they want. Weird. Suggests this is a building site awaiting new development.
