What's with the little flame icon? #38395 01/24/16 09:16 AM

OP grelber Joined: Aug 2009 Likes: 4 North of 49th Parallel	What's with the little flame icon (gif) in the upper right corner of the Subject/Poster box for this thread on the Lounge page? It's the first time I've ever seen that in these forums. And it would seem to be something only a moderator could apply. Last edited by alternaut; 01/24/16 04:01 PM.

(Edit: Should this series of posts beginning with grelber's be moved to the FTM Feedback Forum?) Last edited by artie505; 01/24/16 10:53 AM. The new Great Equalizer is the SEND button.

Does the moderator give out trophy icons, like the one here on the left next to 'Bob from Calgary'? http://www.finetunedmac.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=12&page=1 it is ironically appropriate to have a flame .gif on the Ad Astra string.
