I was not sure if this was my computer having issue but, it seems that the Element icons seems to have disappeared on certain thread. Just thought I would point that out.
The elements icon only appears next to threads the forum has marked as you having "not read" (there's new posts since your last visit) - Sorry if that isn't very clear, I think I'll update it to something more intuitive at some point.
I'm not going to pretend VB's "read" system is pristine or makes much sense, but that is the reason behind it.. ^^
