Scrolling indicators

What do the scrolling indicators mean?
That someone is currently typing?

I am talking about the circular blob to the left of the topic title that changes colour to indicate unread topics amongst other indications.

I think it just means it is a topic to which you have already contributed. C.

No - the scrolling indicates a 'hot' topic - one with more than a certain number of posts in reply.

For any topic you have contributed to, you'll see a little star in the top right of the circle.

I'm glad that somebody knows what they mean. It's been a mystery to me since we started.

The threshold appears to be set at 49 posts (including any that have been deleted but still accessible to the moderators).

I conducted the experiment with the aid of the Polite Discussions board, but don't worry, I'm ok.
