If it's red it's dead?  The red letters and numbers behind the posts...is that to indicate that post/thread is ineligible for additional posts/responses?

OK now I understand about the red date/time but don't have the answer.  

...can you send us a link to a thread that demonstrates this?

Currently on the board appear to be from 9/6/2015 from a certain period of time.  If I had to venture a guess it would be the posts that were looked at by a moderator before being posted.  I am just guessing though from what times/date appear to be red.

The recent majority of my and TwinCitiesGuy's posts had the red date/time stamp after it.  There were two others.  And no it's not because they are 24/48 hours old like someone below wants you to believe.  It was well below those timelines.

I don't appreciate your attitude.  But what should I expected anymore on TER.  Sir, or madame, whichever you may be...I sincerely hope you have an awful day since you can't afford a respectful response to an honest question.  But thanks for the info.

Thanks for the answer but it was better explained by another a-wad below.  Thanks though BM, er...wait which alias was this?

I answered your question. I gave you some good advice. The attitude is your own.

I knew it had something to do with the age of the post but not to the level of the post on the newbie board.
