Hourglass?
What does the hourglass next to a thread mean? I see it next to an old COTM nominating thread. Does that mean it's no longer alive, or relevant?

Is it an hourglass or padlock? The latter means the thread has been closed to additional comments, or "locked".

No, it's definitely an hourglass. A big, cartoon-y hourglass. Maybe you can see it here, where I saw it:

Yep, that is definitely an hourglass, lol. Never noticed it before...my guess is that it's there to alert one to the fact hat there is a "time factor" involved with the thread. For example, that thread says "nominations are accepted until March 16th".

That's exactly what I thought, but the other COTM nomination threads with expired dates don't have it.
Obviously, it's not affecting my use of CH. But now I'm just curious!

Search results include an image from the thread if one is available. That's something someone in the thread uploaded in one of their posts.

Nice idea. I'll note that the image only displays when viewing "All". When I select "Chowhound", no image for the same thread in the results. Is that a bug?
