What do they mean?

In front of the subject line in the message index are small black dots, some are solid filled, some are hollow and there are some black squares....

What do they mean, they don't appear to be related to whether I have read the message.

The "Blackened Period" is always the initial post.

The "White Period" is what you get if you respond to the original post.

The "Black Square" is what you get if you respond to another poster in the same thread but NOT the original poster. It also indicates that the postings may be out of sequence as far as the "time posted"

At least I "think" that is how it has always worked :)

To test it, go to a long thread and respond to the initial poster. Your reply will probably be at the end of the thread but it should have a "White Period" beside it.

OK, I have responded to "my response" to you and got a "Black Square" as I was not the original poster.

I put this up to let you know that DAGGER probably responded to his own post below "Re: HAWAIIAN GOES CHAPTER 11" and got a "white Period" but his original post was deleted so there is no "Black Period", or original post to look for.
