Is there an updated list of what all of the notification symbols mean? A staff member has shared this one (a pencil icon) and I’m not sure what it means: [2025-10-18 20_24_00-screenshot-cr]

Moin’s answers here are good. Creating a test user is a great approach to learning how features like this work. We don’t have a documented “key of notification icons”. It’s not something we’ve ever been asked about before, and they all are (or should be) self explanatory in the interface.

now you should have one in your notifications since i added a tag [IMG_4706]

Do you know if only moderators see that? I’m guessing this must be the case. So is there a key somewhere that shows what they all mean?

OK, that makes sense if you edited my post. Does it also show up to moderators when a flagged user has edited their own flagged post?

no because it is not their own post

I think you can also receive edit notifications for posts that are not your own. When you watch a topic that you didn’t create, where the first post is a wiki and is edited, you are notified. I think I also remember receiving a notification when a post I had flagged was edited.

I think that may be what is going on here, but I’d love to hear from someone official to know what is going on. Now thinking back, I do remember seeing that pencil when mod had edited one of my posts and when someone changed a wiki I made. Not sure about watching someone else’s wiki, but that sounds familiar.

I just did that on my forum, and the user whose flag hid the post was notified when the post was edited and, because of that, visible again.

The situation arose for me when one of the mods asked me about a notification, giving me a screen shot. It wasn’t obvious why they were getting the notification. Having a key to reference might have helped.

Is there a key to all of the notification icons?

that means one of their posts was edited (or a check box updated, or tag changed, etc).
