Check the Box use?

I noticed the check box next to the star recently and wonder what it's purpose is? For all I know, it may have been there on the "old" forum too and I've been blithely ignoring it.

We Administrators and Moderators use it, but I wasn't aware that the members could see it. Check it, please, and tell me what it does.

Just checked this post. Edit: but did not star it.

Did any pop-up boxes appear at the bottom of the page?

Nope, no pop up and it doesn't appear on my "starred" list.

I was wondering the same thing just a couple days ago.

I do notice if I check the box, then return to the main window and reopen the thread, the box does not remain checked.

Maybe it's taking $5 out of my checking account every time I select it...

Then, the use is for only for Administrators and Moderators. It's part of our Secret Wand Arsenal!  

Actually, it allows us to separate different subject comments from a thread to start a new thread under its own discussion title. Nothing sinister, just a tool. 

The star, for those who don't know, is used to bookmark threads that are of use to you or that you want to easily find.

That's ok as long as it's then depositing in my account!

I'm thinkin' ya'll just put that there to see how many of us would click on it to see what happens! Now, tag, you're it!

@ScottG, you're a T@b owner... my guess is it would be a lot more than $5, or so my wallet says!

Good point. I should have known better...  :-)
