question about icons

[Guest]

i'm fairly new here, and i have a question about the site--

next to some of the stories, there are icons posted with letters, like "H." what do these mean? i didn't see anything about it in the faq, and i couldn't find any consistancy on what types of stories they were posted by.

It's in the Story Index FAQ, you just missed it or you were looking at the bulletin board FAQ. It's easy to get confused.

I quote:

- What do the colored icons beside stories mean?
The red H's denote stories which have received 10 or more votes from readers, and maintain an average vote of 4.5 out of 5 or better.

The yellow E's denote "Editor's Choice" stories. These are pieces that we really like - just our opinion.

In the future, we may add other icons to denote contest winners and other information pertinent to the stories.
