Icon Legends?

Do we have a legend that explains the different icons that appear to the left of each forum topic? Some are blue circles with lines in them and some are red circles with lines. I've even seen one that is a red circle with scrolling lines.
This old man can't figure them out.

This is a summary of the new topic icons and what they mean.
Two general points
- Red icons are unread items, blue/grey are read
- A star on any thread means you have posted in it
For example:
- Read topic (No one has posted to this topic since your last visit.)
- Unread topic (Someone has posted to this topic since your last visit.)
- Read topic that you have posted in
- Unread topic that you have posted in
Other icon definitions (the blue=read / red=unread rule applies to these as well)
- Announcements from the administrators.
- Sticky thread
- Hot topic
- Locked thread
- Moved thread
- Forum with subforums
- Link forum
More icons:
- Attachment
- Go to last post in the thread
- Go to last unread post in the thread
- Subforum read
- Subforum unread

If that doesn't work for you... all you really needed to do was hover your mouse over the image and it would give you a tooltip letting you know what the icon was for.
