what does a blue tick mean in the ratings column

[arjay1]

The title pretty well says it all. I am new to the forum (and the distro) and I notice that each time I post something a blue tick appears in the ratings column - as soon as I post something and before anyone could rate it even if they wanted to!

I did a quick search around but couldn't find anything relevant - sorry if it is obvious somewhere

you mean the blue check? That means you're subscribed to the thread

Thanks - thought it had to be something simple. The only thing was I thought I had seen it come up under the ratings column - that's what threw me.

For example, if I look in the Kubuntu forum for my message "help can't boot into kde" the blue check shows up in the ratings column..... confusing or what ... anyway - mystery solved
