Super Mario Bros. X Forums

This is something that has been bugging me for quite a while now.

You know how if a thread is new, there's a mushroom next to it? Then if there is a thread that has more posts on it, there's a fire flower? Then if the thread is locked there is a key, or if it's stickied there is a shell, and so on?

So can someone explain this:

A Bullet Bill? What does this mean?
Looking through the topic, the guy who posted it was a bit arrogant, and the topic was locked, but why is the icon different?
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN :C

Why isn't the icon just a normal key?

A Bullet Bill means the thread's been moved, I believe.

But I've seen moved thread in the levels forum and they don't have Bullet Bills

Something to do with shadow topics if I remember my phpBB correctly.

I was going to say that it that might be a shadow topic. Where it was supposed to be moved but no dicsided yet. Or somethimg like tjat. A sort of suburatory of you will.

What is a shadow topic?

It's basically the link to the moved topic, but where said topic was originally found. Moderators/Admins have the ability to choose whether a Shadow topic is left in place after a topic is moved.

Thats bc they are completly moved. Those with a Bullet Bill will if you find the original one direct you to to the new location of it. Level topics always are fully moved.

Oh, I see. This can be locked I guess

This exists because a staff member accidentally created a shadow topic when moving a topic to a different forum.

But what is a Shadow Topic ;_;

This can actually be locked now
