Indigo Blue Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I don’t know why it’s there. I wish it would go away. Some people have things that look like shields. I don’t know what these are.

Pawz4me Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 The hand identifies people who recently joined. If you're on a laptop and hover the cursor it indicates that. I don't know when it goes away, after a certain number of posts or a certain length of time?? The shield identifies the person as a moderator, but I think it means they moderate one of the social groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathnerd Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I guess that it is supposed to be the new member saying "hi!" by waving their hand. That was my interpretation of the hand symbol 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe you are a new member with a similar username to someone else in which case it’s correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the love of all that is decent and holy please DO get a photo. You don't understand how bad I am with names. My personal low was when I blanked on a student's name, and she had the SAME name as me. It's bad. I'm glad I've always been this way with names or I'd be paranoid that my mind was going. 2 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
