I see blue arrows to the left of certain posts. What do the blue arrows mean?

1. Once a post gets 25 replies that arrow shows up and it gets bumped

up to the top on the Latest Page every time there’s a new reply.

ETA: Close, but not quite right. See EarlG’s post for correct explanation.

2. Makes sense

3. Those are "Milestones"

On the Latest Discussions page, threads are listed in chronological order, with the newest at the top. However, when a thread reaches a multiple of 25 replies (25, 50, 75, etc.) it appears as a "Milestone" and is re-inserted back at the top of the page. We do this so that people who use the Latest page more than the forums can be notified of threads which are getting a lot of interest.

If you don't want to see them, you can turn them off by setting the "Milestones" drop-down menu in the bar at the top of the Latest page to "No Milestones".

4. Very helpful

I don't mind the milestones, but that's a good tip.
Thank you!
