What do the bars at the bottom of some thread titles mean? They usually have AM: in front of them.

If there's some FAQ that I could have found this out in, could you please direct me to it so I won't have to bug someone if I have a question?

Thanks!!

I think you are referring to the Activity Meter. It indicates the amount of activity on that thread.

This question keeps on coming up

It wouldn't suprise me, if we've had a half dozen topics of variations of "what's the color bar?".

I think Percy/Admin needs to spell out the entire "Activity Meter" instead of just "AM". The "hover text" is pretty slow, assuming one hovers in the first place.
