I think there are a lot of features in this forum that are obscured by the use of too subtle icons. Could there be a short icon help someplace? It seems that the icons in front of topic areas and threads change depending on whether or not I've read them. But I am having to figure that out by trial and error and careful observation.

Please aim for casual and occasional users to be able to figure out how to use the forum. Closed and open mail envelopes don't say "you haven't read this thread yet" . The tool tip tells me if I've posted in the thread. To me, a colored bulletin board with extra pages doesn't say "there's new content in this area". Now it will, but I was looking for that indicator and it wasn't obvious.

Maybe what would help would be a screen shot of some typical pages with annotations noting what the parts mean. Oooh, something like that would be helpful for any of the Omni apps as well. Something like a map to what's here.
