Every once in a while, when Im checking subscriptions, a thread will show up with yellow stars attached. Anyone know what thats about?

Yep, its a rating system for the thread. Everyone has the ability to rate the thread.

See the red bar above your first post. Look to the right and the 3rd drop down menu is Rate Thread.. You can rate it 1-5 star.

Duh, I just noticed that if you hover on those stars, an explanation pops up.

some people use them to be trolls and rate down all the threads of a specific targeted poster. But If you genuinely like a thread then giving it a good rating is perfectly cool.

Oh those mean,mean trolls. Hey if they can design: pop-up blockers, and spam filters, and anti-virus software, and such like,one would imagine, sooner or later, to market will come,
