I have waited a long time before posting this.
Because I was hoping someone else would ask.
This new site is very nice but this old computer challenged bow hunter can't find the active topic icon.
The old site had one for new posts and active ones.
I can't find that on here. 
So at the risk of embracing myself, where is it?
I'm sure someone will tell where it is and I'm going to wonder why I didn't see it.

go to the main forum summary that shows all the boards in the forum, then go to the bottom of that page and you'll see ....
