Is there a page explaining what the different bits and pieces mean on this page? I see node titles in different colours, I think it means that the more green it is, the older the node is (but how much older?) But why are some titles printed in italics, and others not? What do the numbers after the titles mean? Some titles have no numbers, others up to three inside parenthesis, and sometimes there are numbers inside square brackets. Also, root nodes have some letters (like A, FA or U) inside the parenthesis as well.

I used the "Need Help??" link at top of the page, but that's just a bunch of links to everything but explaination about the "Recently Active Threads" page. It does have an item "Newest Nodes", which comes close, but alas, that's not a link.

I also used the search box for "Recently Active Threads", but that just brings me back to the same page.
