The emojis and exclamation points. The ones that will show before threads in the list... are they meant to draw attention to an urgent thread or should I just use them whenever? Ive wondered this for awhile now.

They are a simple way of expressing yourself and the intent of the thread.

Greetings,

Is there anywhere in the forums (e.g. FAQs or elsewhere) that describes whether there is any particular meaning/definition for the Post Icons?

One of the introductory bits of info upon joining these forums is the importance of using the 'trigger' icon when/where appropriate. So other than the smilie/emoji type icons, it seems that the other icons (e.g. medical cross, different exclamation triangles, trophy, etc) may have some meaning. So if there were something of a glossary of post icons, I'd love to know!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
